Secret Knowledge + Hidden Chaos
NEW VIDEO SHOWS KIKI VALDES WORKING

Kiki Valdes- Secret Knowledge & Hidden Chaos from Chris Sullivan on Vimeo.



Feb. 2010 -
Friends, How are you? I wanted to share with you a video of me at work at
the studio taking some questions about art and media. This was filmed by Chris Sullivan, who has filmed Art Basel coverage for the past 2 years for Saatchi Gallery.

We felt it was time to show the work I've been doing in a more intimate way. People often times only remember you for one thing you do, in my case it was my satirical approach to Cuban art and my performance painting. The work in the video I have been exploring for 2 years now. The site will also be updated with new works as well to give a better idea of the progress.  

If you enjoy the video we strongly encourage you all to post it on tweeter, facebook feeds or your personal blogs.
Thanks for your support and for spreading the word.

Special thanks to producer of the project Chris Sullivan.

TIME + TEMP: Survey of South FLA Painting

Kiki Valdes, Secret Socially Hand to Face, 2009, Oil on canvas  Private collection

Nov 09 - I have been included in this new painting exhibit TIME + TEMP at the Art & Culture Center of Hollywood. Information about the show is below. Special thanks to the curator Jane Hart for getting me involved.

This exhibition presents a survey of dynamic work by a
selection of South Florida based artists who embrace and incorporate
aspects of painting into their practice. A resurgence of painterly
tendencies is currently taking hold among artists on a national even
international level. Its growing appeal is also evident within the ever
expanding contemporary art community in our region.

Some of the artists included in this exhibit include:

Guerra de la Paz, Daniel Newman, Kiki Valdes, Pepe Mar, Chuck Webster, Bhakti Baxter, Michael Vasquez, Brandon Opalka, Jacin Giordano, Gavin Perry, Skot Olsen among many others.

In conjunction with TIME + TEMP, The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood
will unveil a newly painted site-specific mural by artist Francesco
LoCastro in the Leonard and Sally Robbins Sculpture Garden.

Summer Time/ New Issue
PAINTING WITH LIGHT FROM 2005

June 09 -
Hey all. The Studio visits have been great. Will have one for Mid July. Will post up the information very soon. In the meantime been working on a few projects and decided to publish a new zine issue over at OpenZine.com.

They are a group of photos taken in 2005 when I started to play with light drawing. My brother took the pictures in my old studio. Take a look and I'll post new info soon. The summer has been good to me so far and I plan on some trips soon. RIP to Michael Jackson. I wrote his name in this issue before he passed away. I thought it was kind of interesting, I just did automatic writing with peoples names and his was one that came out along with Hemingway, Madonna etc.

OPEN STUDIO/HAPPY HOUR/THE GLASS STUDIO

May 09 - The past 2 studio visits have been very productive and actually has bridged a gap I've felt that my art was being blocked from public viewing for a while. I'm pretty unconventional so I think this is working out very nicely for the type of dialog it's beginning to create. You can see it as it is. Paintings everywhere, where they are created. Best part of all is...if someone missed the last one...now's the time to make up for it.

I will continue to put these together. This brings something new to the studio visit/open studio idea. The fine people from CoveringsEtc. which owns the property The Glass Studio is located are having a happy hour reception for winning an award at ICFF 2009 in in New York City recently. I figured this would be another great time to invite friends and art patrons to experience all the fine things happening at this new creative campus.

The New Studio Visit



NEW SHOW AT  KIKI VALDES' WORK SPACE, THE GLASS STUDIO


April 09- Kiki Valdes is opening up for the first time his newly built workspace “The Glass Studio” for a special public viewing of new works. On April 25, Valdes will offer an informal and raw presentation of exhibiting works within the very studio in which they were created, offering a fundamental way for art and public interaction to cross feed in a way, which rarely gets experienced.

This is an interesting time for Miami's cultural communities to gather for a valid experience of new contemporary art. “The New Studio Visit” will be an unconventional gathering
with expressionist plates of new painting with high regard to imagery and process. The artist draws from the inner initiative process of composition building and urban life in Miami. Valdes considers himself an artist drawn to Modern art for political, social and scientific reasons.

“At times of war art should be as expressive and as dramatic as possible to really trigger how contemporary life feels, Valdes said.
