ARLESS DAYThe abstract paintings of Luisa Basnuevo prove emphatically that what is put down on a surface – marks, images, colors – is much less important than how those elements are created. Her iconography is idiosyncratic and personal, but the paintings are universally compelling and beautiful. Basnuevo, born in Cuba in 1962, attended L’Ecole des Beaux Arts, Avignon ( France ) and received degrees from Florida International (BFA) and Yale(MFA) Universities. One person shows include those at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center, Arts Project ( Lake George NY ) Metro Dade Cultural Center (Miami) and the Polk Museum of Art ( Lakeland ). She has also been featured in most of the important Florida invitational shows in the last ten years. In a significant honor, she was featured (2008-2009) in the inaugural Exhibit at the Patricia and Philip Frost Museum’s Betty Laird Perry Gallery at Florida International University. Public Collections holding paintings by Basnuevo include those of the Ringling Museum of Art, the Lowe Museum at the University of Miami, the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, the Polk Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami. She lives in Miami. Arless Day’s art is truly unique. His images of landscapes and interiors, torn from magazines, books and catalogs - everyday scenes primarily - provide the basis for his gouache paintings. They are illusions - constructed environments - of reality each with it’s own narrative, and as such, provide the basis for the viewer to become enveloped in a world of fantasy. Although Day graduated from the Ringling School of Art and Design (1972) and lives in Bradenton, this is the first time his art has had Gallery exposure in Southwest Florida. His work is also currently featured in the exhibit REAL(ists) at the Ringling College’s Selby Gallery. Day has exhibited extensively in the Southeast (except for Florida) and in the Northwest. His work can be Found in more than 25 corporate collections and the collections of the Gibbs Museum of Art (Charleston SC), the Ogden Museum of Art (New Orleans), the Mint Museum of Art (Charlotte), the Morris Museum of Art (Augusta, Ga) the Hunter Museum of Art (Chattanooga) and was included in the State Department’s Art in Embassies Program.
