"Magic Place"......New Huber images soon


Although her German agent decided to withdraw from the Outsider Art Fair, he faithfully delivered to me a cache of new and very exciting works of art by Alexandra Huber. New York fans of this exciting artist will not be disappointed with the variety of work selected. The art is being photographed and will be posted soon on the web site http://www.artbrut.com which is the address for Beverly Kaye Gallery. Two larger mixed media pieces, and ten of the 6"x 6" smalls will be added to the extensive portfolio of Huber works represented here. Alexandra remains one of Europe's top self-taught artists, and I will post her latest shows and catalogues when the new works are ready to go public. This little gem, called "Magic Place" is a great example of what is to follow.

Pedro Martin DeClet, homage to heros


The collage "Portrait de Genocide", a powerful statement by Pedro Martin DeClet, is typical of his works which examine his personal struggles and those of society. He first started exploring art while incarcerated, and a liberal prison system encouraged his efforts and allowed him to leave the premisses to attend his first show, beyond prison walls. This monumental work honors fallen heros, Latino as well as American Indian. The red pictograph of the human spirit bleeds for them and their sacrifices. Much of Pedro's work is in diary form, and he excels at collage as well as assemblages.
His prison years and his involvement with the Latin Kings are far behind him, only occasionally resurfacing as fodder for his art. Pedro is exquisitely aware of the art world, and the poetry and prose of the most renowned authors and wordsmiths; however, his work is not at all derivative. It is purely his own vision, his own pain. Although completely self-taught, his frequent use of both Latin and Spanish text within his work gives it a unique sophistication. His self-portraits reveal him as he is, sweet, moody, confrontational, scarred, and hopeful. $2500
