Featuring nine works, the exhibition is
curated by gallerist Flavio Bisciotti, a friend and fellow architect. The show
features two series, ”Urban Industrial Landscapes” which juxtaposes technology
and nature, and “Natural Environmental Landscapes” which explore global warming
and the future of the environment.
The two
have been friends for over fifteen years and originally met in Argentina. Bisciotti
is a big supporter of De Aubeyzon’s and work recently featured his art in a
group show this past August.
Bisciotti
explains, “I admire his architectural vision and its portrayal in his
paintings. I also appreciate his surrealist tendencies. He is able to combine a
hyperreal painting style with depictions of unique environments. In ‘Still
Life,’ Javier uses a monument from the Buenos Aires cityscape, in this case
Eduardo Catalano’s sculpture “Floralis Generalis” of a giant metallic flower
which opens and closes. In this painting, he contrasts this with the detritus
and trash of society floating in the ‘Riachuelo River,’ a manmade natural
disaster.”
Promoting
an environmental consciousness throughout the work is key to the art of De
Aubeyzon. Within that framework, he combines the visuals of polar opposites.
“Recently I've found myself merging the two opposing themes I've worked on for
years, ‘Urban Industrial Landscapes’ and ‘natural environment
landscapes,’" said De Aubeyzon. “Two contradictory images interact in one,
with a clear message….Man co-exists with his enemy, himself, and feels
obligated to protect his home, planet earth.”
De Aubeyzon said he has always been drawn to visual concepts of the port industry in Buenos Aires, as well as its abandoned freeways. This captivating imagery heightens the seriousness of the subject.
De
Aubeyzon has been included in exhibitions at Galería Praxis,International
Art, Miami, The British Arts Centre in Argentina, Galería D&G Arte, the Palais de Glace Museum, and many others.
