The first two exhibitions were held at the Museo de la Cultura Maya in Chetumal in March and April of this year and in May-June at the Museo de la Isla in Cozumel, both of which were considered to be a huge success. Manuel Ramírez López, Director of the Casa de Cultura, where this next exhibition is to take place, has said that he is honored to be hosting Mrs Sleper’s exhibition.<br />The artist will be present at the opening of "Dulce y Amargo" at the Museum of Modern Art of Gómez Palacio on the evening of 3 July, along with important local personalities from the political, cultural and educational scene in Mexico and from the Dutch community living in the state of Durango.<br /><br />Jackie Sleper, the winner of the section “Sculpture and Installation” at the Florence Biennale 2007, has always been fascinated by Mexico and the artist Frida Kahlo, for whom she has a profound admiration. In 2005, she received an invitation from Matty Roca to depict her vision of Mexico and over the course of two years Jackie Sleper, together with her husband and children, spent many months in the country, about which she says that: “<em>I took in everything around me, spoke with lots of people and, in particular, got a sense of the country. My previous love of Mexico only grew stronger.... Over the next two years my work will be travelling to various museums in Mexico – something I would never have dared dream of as a child. I feel like I am on top of the world. This is the link that completes the chain</em>."<br /><br />Her works are at times reminiscent of a variety of artists: Rivera, Orozco, Tamayo and Pollock. Jackie Sleper assumes absolute freedom in applying various techniques and introducing experimental elements: her work is characterised by combinations of photography and painting, and the use of mixed media. In addition to painting, Jackie also creates objects using a variety of materials, which she then transforms into wholly a new and surprising entity. The artist allows all her work to be guided by a profound sense of humanity, and she is an artist in the truest sense of the word: her work has always been grounded in her exploration of the human existence and its significance.<br /><br />Matty Roca: “<em>I have been able to witness Jackie Sleper’s development – as a photographer, painter and sculptor – at first hand. Every painting is an intensely personal creation and expression, presenting the world as she perceives it. She is sensitive, intense, mysterious and subtle, but also possesses a strong personality, conveying this in her paintings with exceptional clarity, so that she is comprehensible for one and all</em>.”<br /><br /><br />Jackie Sleper was born in Amsterdam and studied at the Utrecht Academy for Visual Arts. Between 1988 and 1995 she spent time in Ireland, Spain and Prague for study purposes. Works produced in her home country, the Netherlands, include a tile plateau in honour of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, commissioned by the municipality of Utrecht, and ‘light objects’ for the Kruisheren Hotel, a design establishment that opened in Maastricht in 2005. Outside the Netherlands, she has exhibited in Antwerp (Art-Event), Stockholm (Art Fair), Marbella (Marb Art – Feria Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo), Geneva (Europ’Art), Klagenfurt (Biennale Austria), Salzburg (Mozart Festival), Florence (Museo Diocesano and Biennale Internazionale dell’Arte Contemporanea), Milan (Studio D’Ars), New York (Carrozzini Von Buhler Gallery and CVB Space), and in Mexico. One of her sculptures, "Modestia", was exhibited during the Venice Biennale, at Open 2007. She won the 1st prize for “Sculpture and Installation” at the Florence Biennale 2007.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Calendar Mexico 2008<br /></strong></div><div align="justify"><strong>3 July - 25 August<br /></strong>Museo de Arte Moderno<br />Londres y Bilboa<br />Col.

Después del grande éxito en Chetumal y en Cozumel, Quintana Roo, en Julio - Agosto 2008 el Museo de Arte Moderno de Gómez Palacio, Durango, abrirá sus puertas a las obras de la artista holandesa, inspiradas y dedicadas a México y a Frida Kahlo.<br /><br />Gómez Palacio es la tercera sede que ospitará la exposición curada por Matty Roca, curadora, museógrafa internacional e historiadora del arte, y forma parte del programa de exposiciones que Jackie Sleper tendrá en México en 2008 y 2009. Las primeras exhibiciones, en el Museo de la Cultura Maya de Chetumal y en el Museo de la Isla de Cozumel, fueron recibidas con gran entusiasmo por el público. El Sr. Manuel Ramírez López, director de la Casa de Cultura, donde se encuentra el Museo de Arte Moderno, comentó que es un gran honor acoger la exposición de Jackie Sleper.<br />La inauguración contará con la presencia de la artista y de importantes personalidades del ámbito político, cultural y educativo, así como de ciudadanos holandeses residentes en Durango.<br /><br />Jackie Sleper se ha sentido siempre atraida por México y por Frida Kahlo por la cual siente una profunda admiración. En 2005 Matty Roca, curadora, museógrafa internacional e historiadora del arte le pidió a Jackie que pintara su visión de México. En los dos últimos años Jackie Sleper, junto con su esposo y sus hijos, ha pasado varios meses en México creando sus obras. Jackie dice: “<em>Matty se ha convertido en una gran amiga, me ha enseñado México. He obsevado todo a mi alrededor, hablado con mucha gente y especialmente aprendido el sentimiento de la gente. De este modo el amor que nutría yo por México creció y se fortaleció. Exponer mis obras en varios museos en México, es algo que nunca me hubiera imaginado. En este momento me siento en lo más alto de este mundo, este es el eslabón que completa la cadena</em>.”<br /><br />Su bandera de modernidades impone a dispares opciones Rivera, Orozco, Tamayo y Pollock. Jackie Sleper con total libertad incorpora técnicas y añade elementos experimentales: su trabajo se caracteriza por la combinación de fotografía, pintura y el uso de mixed media. Además de la pintura Jackie crea objetos en los cuales incorpora múltiples materiales, transformándolos en un nuevo concepto. Jackie Sleper se deja guiar en su trabajo por un profundo sentido humanista mereciendo sin duda el título de artista ya que su obra se nutre de una búsqueda que concierne al humano y su condición existencial.<br /><br />Matty Roca: “<em>He seguido de cerca la trayectoria de Jackie Sleper como fotógrafa, pintora y escultora. Cada una de sus pinturas tiene una intensa creación personal y expresión, presentando el mundo como lo percibe. Tierna, apasionada, enigmática y sutil pero al mismo tiempo posee una gran fuerza y carácter, sobretodo sabe lo que realmente quiere. Esta personalidad la expresa con gran calidad para ser comprendida por todos</em>.”<br /><br /><br />Jackie Sleper nació en Amsterdam y estudió Artes Visuales en la Academia de Utrecht. En 1988 - 1995 visitó por motivos de estudios Irlanda, España y Praga.

Cozumel is the second Mexican location for her "Dulce y Amargo" exhibition, which forms part of the series of exhibitions that the famous Dutch artist will be showing in Mexico in 2008 and 2009, all being curated by Matty Roca, art historian and art critic. After the success of the first exhibition in Chetumal, David Domínguez Povedano, General Director of the Museo de la Isla in Cozumel has announced that there is great interest in the forthcoming event.<br /><br />Jackie Sleper has always been fascinated by Mexico and Frida Kahlo, for whom she has a profound admiration. In 2005, she received an invitation from Matty Roca to depict her vision of Mexico. Over the course of two years Jackie Sleper, together with her husband and children, spent many months in the country, where she created many of her works. Jackie says: “<em>Matty Roca became a dear friend. She showed me Mexico. I took in everything around me, spoke with lots of people and, especially, got a sense of the country</em>".<br /><br />Her modern works are at times reminiscent of Rivera, Orozco, Tamayo and Pollock. Jackie Sleper assumes absolute freedom in applying various techniques and introducing experimental elements: her work is characterised by combinations of photography and painting, and the use of mixed media. In addition to paintings, Jackie creates objects that incorporate a variety of multiple materials, which she transforms into wholly new and surprising concepts.<br /><br />Jackie Sleper's work Modestia, was exhibited during La Biennale di Venezia, at Open 2007. She won the 1st prize for “Sculpture and Installation” at the Florence Biennale 2007.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>CALENDAR 2008 (dates to be confirmed):<br /></strong><br />9/05 - 20/06 Museo de la Isla de Cozumel<br />3/07 - 25/08 Museo de Arte Moderno de Gòmez Palacios.<br />4/09 - 23/10 Museo Palacio Pedro de Alvarado<br />6/11 - 12 (closing date TBC) Museo del Aguacate, Durango<br /><br /><br /><strong>For further information:</strong><br /><br />Jackie Sleper<br /><a href="http://www.jackiesleper.com/">http://www.jackiesleper.com/</a><br /><br />Images:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dulceyamargo">http://www.flickr.com/photos/dulceyamargo</a><br /><br />Press office<br />Studio Abba - Corso Italia, 6 - 50123 Florence, Italy<br /><a href="mailto:info@studioabba.com">info@studioabba.com</a><br /><br />It will be possible to follow the various stages of “Dulce y amargo” thanks to the information and images that will be posted on <a href="http://www.dulceyamargo.com/">http://www.dulceyamargo.com/</a><br />Visitors to Jackie’s exhibitions in Mexico, can also upload photos taken during the exhibitions on Flickr and share them with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/dulceyamargo">http://www.flickr.com/groups/dulceyamargo</a><br />At the end of the exhibition series, the authors of the three photos that Jackie likes most, will each receive a signed lithograph of one of her works.<br />For general comments contact:<br /><a href="mailto:dulceyamargo@yahoo.com">dulceyamargo@yahoo.com</a> </div>Dulce y Amargohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03819001009789734132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401535787914471557.post-47564194376687191972008-05-05T04:06:00.003-05:002008-05-05T04:33:50.734-05:00Comunicado de prensa<div align="justify"><strong>Dulce y Amargo: el México de Jackie Sleper en Cozumel</strong><br /><br />Del 9 de mayo al 20 de junio, el Museo de la Isla de Cozumel abrirá sus puertas a las obras dedicadas a México de la artista holandesa Jackie Sleper<br /><br />(Florencia – Italia, abril 2008) En mayo - junio 2008 el Museo de la Isla de Cozumel abrirá sus puertas a la exposición "Dulce y Amargo" de la artista holandesa Jackie Sleper, inspirada y dedicada a México y a Frida Kahlo. La exposición "Dulce y Amargo" está curada por Matty Roca, curadora, museógrafa internacional e historiadora del arte. Cozumel es la segunda sede en México del programa de exposiciones 2008-2009 de la artista holandesa Jackie Sleper. En Chetumal, sede de la primera exposición, el público recibió con gran entusiasmo las obras de Jackie Sleper. El Sr. David Domínguez Povedano, Director General del Museo de la Isla de Cozumel comentó que hay un gran interés del público por la exposición que se inaugurará en los próximos días.<br /><br />Jackie Sleper se ha sentido siempre atraida por México y por Frida Kahlo. En los dos últimos años la artista, junto con su esposo y sus hijos, ha pasado varios meses en México creando sus obras. Jackie dice: “<em>Matty Roca se ha convertido en una gran amiga, me ha enseñado México. He obsevado todo a mi alrededor, hablado con mucha gente y especialmente aprendido el sentimiento de la gente. De este modo el amor que nutría yo por México creció y se fortaleció</em>.”<br /><br />Su bandera de modernidades impone a dispares opciones Rivera, Orozco, Tamayo y Pollock. Jackie Sleper con total libertad incorpora técnicas y añade elementos experimentales: su trabajo se caracteriza por la combinación de fotografía, pintura y el uso de mixed media.

For these exhibitions, the Dutch artist has realized a series of works inspired by and dedicated to Frida Kahlo and to Mexico.<br /><br />Jackie Sleper has always been fascinated by Mexico and it’s artist Frida Kahlo, for whom she has a profound admiration. In 2005 she received an invitation from Matty Roca, art historian and President of the Council for Arts and Culture in Cancun to depict her vision of Mexico. Over the course of two years Jackie Sleper, together with her husband and children, spent many months in the country, where she created many of her works. Jackie says: “Matty became a dear friend. She showed me Mexico. I took in everything around me, spoke with lots of people and, especially, got a sense of the country. My previous love of Mexico only grew stronger. In March my work will be travelling to various museums in Mexico – something I would never have dared dream of as a child. I feel like I am on top of the world. This is the link that completes the chain.’<br /><br />Her modern works are at times reminiscent of Rivera, Orozco, Tamayo and Pollock. Jackie Sleper assumes absolute freedom in applying various techniques and introducing experimental elements: her work is characterised by combinations of photography and painting, and the use of mixed media. In addition to paintings, Jackie creates objects that incorporate a variety of multiple materials, which she transforms into wholly new and surprising concepts. The artist allows her work to be guided by a profound sense of humanism, and she’s depicted as an artist in the truest sense of the word: her work has always been grounded in her exploration of human existence and the significance behind it.<br /><br />Matty Roca: <em>“I have been able to witness Jackie Sleper’s development – as a photographer, painter and sculptor – at first hand. Each of her paintings is an intensely personal creation and expression, presents the world as she perceives it. She is sensitive, intense, mysterious and subtle, but also possesses a cast-iron personality. Above all, she knows exactly what she wants. She conveys her personality with exceptional clarity, so that she is comprehensible for one and all.”<br /></em><br /><br />Jackie Sleper was born in Amsterdam and studied at the Utrecht Academy for Visual Arts. Between 1988 and 1995 she spent time in Ireland, Spain and Prague for study purposes. Works produced in her home country, the Netherlands, include a tile plateau in honour of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, commissioned by the municipality of Utrecht, and ‘light objects’ for the Kruisheren Hotel, a design establishment that opened in Maastricht in 2005. Outside the Netherlands she has exhibited in Antwerp (Art-Event), Stockholm (Art Fair), Marbella (Marb Art – Feria Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo), Geneva (Europ’Art), Klagenfurt (Biennale Austria), Salzburg (Mozart Festival), Florence (Museo Diocesano and Biennale Internazionale dell’Arte Contemporanea), Milan (Studio D’Ars), New York (Carrozzini Von Buhler Gallery and CVB Space), and in Mexico.

La artista holandesa empezarà sus exposiciones en el Museo de la Cultura Maya de Chetumal con una serie de trabajos inspirados y dedicados a Frida Kahlo y México.<br /><br />Jackie Sleper se ha sentido siempre atraida por México y por Frida Kahlo por la cual siente una profunda admiraciòn. En el 2005 Matty Roca, Historiadora y Crìtica de Arte; Presidente del Consejo Municipal para la Cultura y las Artes, Cancùn, México, le pidiò a Jackie que pintara su visiòn de México. En los dos ùltimos años Jackie Sleper, junto con su esposo y sus hijos ha pasado varios meses en México creando sus obras. Jackie dice: “Matty se ha convertido en una gran amiga, me ha enseñado México. He obsevado todo a mi alrededor, hablado con mucha gente y especialmente aprendido el sentimiento de la gente. De este modo el amor que nutrìa yo por México creciò y se fortaleciò. En marzo empezaré a exponer mis obras en varios museos en México, algo que nunca me hubiera imaginado. En este momento me siento en lo màs alto de este mundo, este es el eslabòn que completa la cadena.”<br /><br />Su bandera de modernidades impone a dispares opciones Rivera, Orozco, Tamayo y Pollock .<br />Jackie Sleper con total libertad incorpora técnicas y añade elementos experimentales: su trabajo se caracteriza por la combinaciòn de fotografìa, pintura y el uso de mixed media. Ademàs de la pintura Jackie crea objetos en los cuales incorpora mùltiples materiales, transformàndolos en un nuevo concepto. Jackie Sleper se deja guiar en su trabajo por un profundo sentido humanista mereciendo sin duda el tìtulo de artista ya que su obra se nutre de una búsqueda que concierne al humano y su condición existencial.<br /><br />Matty Roca: <em>“He seguido de cerca la trayectoria de Jackie Sleper como fotógrafa, pintora y escultora. Cada una de sus pinturas tiene una intensa creación personal y expresión, presentando el mundo como lo percibe. Tierna, apasionada, enigmática y sutil pero al mismo tiempo posee una gran fuerza y carácter, sobretodo sabe lo que realmente quiere. Esta personalidad la expresa con gran calidad para ser comprendida por todos.”</em><br /><br />Jackie Sleper naciò en Amsterdam y estudiò Artes Visuales en la Academia de Utrecht. En 1988 - 1995 visitò por motivos de estudios, Irlanda, España y Praga. Entre las obras que ha realizado en su paìs podemos mencionar: una placa de azulejos en homenaje a Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen para el Municipio de Utrecht; “objetos luminosos” para el Hotel Kruisheren, establecimiento de diseño en Maastricht desde el 2005.<br />Exposiciones Internacionales:<br />Antwerp (Evento artìstico), Estocolmo (Feria de Arte), Marbella (Marb Art – Feria Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo), Ginebra (Europ’Art), Klagenfurt (Bienal de Austria), Salzburgo (Festival de Mozart), Florencia (Museo Diocesano y Biennale Internazionale dell’Arte Contemporanea), Milano (Studio D’Ars), New York (Galerìa Carrozzini Von Buhler y Espacio CVB), y en México.<br />Exhibiò una de sus obras, Modestia, durante la Biennale di Venezia, en Open 2007.

Para realizarla, sin haber visitado México, me dejé llevar por mi intuición. En esta obra coloqué, en forma de pirámide, un ángel dorado sobre lagartijas. Las lagartijas están en contacto con Dios. El ángel, con 2 peces en la mano, uno de oro y otro de jade imbolizan la vida, protege al pueblo mexicano. En la otra mano el ángel tiene un pequeño perro que representa la fidelidad.<br /><br />PROTECCIÓN is my first statue dedicated to Mexico. I made it intuitively, before ever having set foot on Mexican soil. The golden angel stands atop lizards that are piled up to resemble a pyramid. The lizards can communicate with God. The angel protects the Mexican people. In one hand she has two fish (one of my symbols of life), one of gold and one of jade. In her other hand she holds a little dog (for fidelity). <br /><br />Jackie Sleper<br /><a href="http://www.jackiesleper.com">www.jackiesleper.com</a><br />(photo Ruben de Heer)Dulce y Amargohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03819001009789734132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401535787914471557.post-86518751563225691572008-02-22T05:10:00.001-06:002008-02-22T05:11:48.514-06:00EL CORAZÓN - Jackie Sleper<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_inTtye0Jce8/R76t1bmJRRI/AAAAAAAAAIc/nPiTzHj8Ess/s1600-h/EL+CORAZ%C3%93N.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_inTtye0Jce8/R76t1bmJRRI/AAAAAAAAAIc/nPiTzHj8Ess/s400/EL+CORAZ%C3%93N.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169760555720328466" /></a><br /><br />JACKIE SLEPER: En la obra EL CORAZÓN represento una mujer joven con su madre muerta. La madre dona su sabiduría y espiritualidad a su hija. La joven tiene cabellos y flores de plata porque la plata significa fluidez, movimiento a diferencia del oro que no tiene movimento. La plata la utilizo para indicar que la joven recibe todas y cada una de las palabras de su madre para posteriormente regalarlas a sus hijos. Los peces que a menudo pinto en mis obras son símbolo de vida. <br /><br />EL CORAZÓN shows a young woman and her mother, who has passed away. The mother gives her culture and spirituality to her daughter. The girl has silver hair and silver flowers. Silver to me is fluid, flowing, whereas gold lacks of movement. I have used silver to indicate that the girl is receptive to each word she ‘receives’ from her mother, and that she herself will pass it down to her own children from her heart. In my work often I often use fish, as one of my symbols of life. <br /><br />Jackie Sleper<br /><a href="http://www.jackiesleper.com">www.jackiesleper.com</a><br />(photo Ruben de Heer)Dulce y Amargohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03819001009789734132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401535787914471557.post-39338485566860604472008-02-22T05:08:00.002-06:002008-02-22T05:09:58.790-06:00VIDA - Jackie Sleper<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_inTtye0Jce8/R76tVrmJRQI/AAAAAAAAAIU/l_Q0kKwcCgo/s1600-h/VIDA+.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_inTtye0Jce8/R76tVrmJRQI/AAAAAAAAAIU/l_Q0kKwcCgo/s400/VIDA+.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169760010259481858" /></a><br /><br />JACKIE SLEPER: En la obra VIDA, hablo de la vida y la muerte.

A pesar del paso de los siglos llegamos solamente a esto. A la muerte del amor por este bellísimo animal. Por un momento un rayo de luz iluminó su existencia terrestre. Llévenme para continuar a vivir y ser libre. Como las rosas rojas y los corales vivientes hemos sido elevados a una existencia divina.<br />Enséñame, Oh vida de salvación, dame la fuerza para continuar en esta vida de energía.<br /><br />The horse races along the desolate land. A land of blood and joy. Nobody will release it to live in freedom. Let us be gentle with each other. Time is standing still. <br />I knew it would come. I have known for centuries that we came only for this. The death of love for this beautiful animal. For a moment a ray of light fell onto this earthly existence. Take me, so I can live on and be free. <br />Like roses red and living coral, we have been lifted to a divine existence. Show me, o life of salvation, grant me the strength to continue in this life of energy.<br /><br />Jackie Sleper <br /><a href="http://www.jackiesleper.com">www.jackiesleper.com</a><br />(photo Ruben de Heer)Dulce y Amargohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03819001009789734132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401535787914471557.post-42266575154894116772008-02-22T05:05:00.001-06:002008-02-22T05:06:55.159-06:00DULCE-AMARGO 1 - Jackie Sleper<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_inTtye0Jce8/R76strmJROI/AAAAAAAAAIE/td5BJ2JnwSI/s1600-h/Dulce-Amargo+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_inTtye0Jce8/R76strmJROI/AAAAAAAAAIE/td5BJ2JnwSI/s400/Dulce-Amargo+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169759323064714466" /></a><br /><br />JACKIE SLEPER: DULCE-AMARGO es mi oda para el pueblo mexicano. La obra habla de la dualidad de la vida... dulce y amarga. Utilizo esta misma dualidad con un fruto, el limón. Los limones con los cuales construí el templo simbolizan el lado amargo de la vida, la opresión, el trabajo arduo y la pobreza que el pueblo mexicano ha sufrido a través de los años. Del templo de limones sale una pareja, un hombre fuerte y una hermosa mujer que representan la vida, la cual no siempre es amarga sino con la eterna esperanza de un futuro mejor. El color amarillo de los limones simboliza la pasión del pueblo mexicano. <br /><br />DULCE-AMARGO is my ode to the Mexican people. The work speaks of the duality of life, with its bitter and its sweet sides. I have used a fruit to symbolise this duality: a lemon, which can be both bitter and sour on the inside. The lemons I used to build the temple symbolise the bitter aspects of life: the oppression, the drudgery and the poverty that have caused the Mexican people so much suffering over the years. From the temple of lemons a couple rises, a powerful man and a beautiful woman symbolising life, which is not always bitter, but brings with it the eternal hope of a better future.<br />The yellow colour of the lemons stands for the passion of the Mexican people.<br /><br />Jackie Sleper<br /><a href="http://www.jackiesleper.com">www.jackiesleper.com</a><br />(photo Ruben de Heer)Dulce y Amargohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03819001009789734132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401535787914471557.post-49988199715210462882008-02-22T05:04:00.001-06:002008-02-22T05:05:49.096-06:00DULCE-AMARGO 3 - Jackie Sleper<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_inTtye0Jce8/R76scLmJRNI/AAAAAAAAAH8/_dn7SwmpM_A/s1600-h/Dulce-Amargo+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_inTtye0Jce8/R76scLmJRNI/AAAAAAAAAH8/_dn7SwmpM_A/s400/Dulce-Amargo+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169759022417003730" /></a><br /><br />JACKIE SLEPER: DULCE-AMARGO es mi oda para el pueblo mexicano.

La obra habla de la dualidad de la vida... dulce y amarga. Utilizo esta misma dualidad con un fruto, el limón. Los limones con los cuales construí el templo simbolizan el lado amargo de la vida, la opresión, el trabajo arduo y la pobreza que el pueblo mexicano ha sufrido a través de los años. Del templo de limones sale una pareja, un hombre fuerte y una hermosa mujer que representan la vida, la cual no siempre es amarga sino con la eterna esperanza de un futuro mejor. El color amarillo de los limones simboliza la pasión del pueblo mexicano. <br /><br />DULCE-AMARGO is my ode to the Mexican people.

Me permití realizar esta obra gracias al buen sentido del humor de los mexicanos. Representó a los mexicanos con chiles rojos por su agilidad mental y su pasión. Rocatizada me recuerda a mi querida amiga Matty Roca, que viaja siempre alrededor del mundo, lo cual explica el título de la obra. <br /><br />ROCATIZADA is a bit of a humoristic work. Fortunately this is allowed, as the Mexicans have a great sense of humour. I depicted the Mexicans as red chilli peppers, because they can be fiery and very passionate. Rocatizada reminds me of my good friend Matty Roca, who travels the world – hence also the title. <br /><br />Jackie Sleper <br /><a href="http://www.jackiesleper.com">www.jackiesleper.com</a><br />(photo Ruben de Heer)Dulce y Amargohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03819001009789734132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401535787914471557.post-91167317130824217532008-02-22T04:58:00.001-06:002008-02-22T05:00:04.199-06:00ODA A FRIDA KAHLO - Jackie Sleper<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_inTtye0Jce8/R76rCbmJRJI/AAAAAAAAAHc/voglU1u29sk/s1600-h/ODA+A+FRIDA+KAHLO+.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_inTtye0Jce8/R76rCbmJRJI/AAAAAAAAAHc/voglU1u29sk/s400/ODA+A+FRIDA+KAHLO+.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169757480523744402" /></a><br /><br />JACKIE SLEPER: Esta obra es un homenaje a Frida Kahlo, artista por la cual tengo profunda admiración. La representé con dos gemelas porque en mi sentir Frida tiene dos almas. Su vida fue en parte triste y en parte feliz. Las flores rojas, los pericos y los simios desempeñan un papel muy importante en la obra de Frida, motivo por el cual los incluyo en esta pintura.<br /><br />This painting is my ode to Frida Kahlo. She is an artist for whom I have a deep admiration. I have painted her in the form of twins, because I feel Frida had two souls. Her life was one part sad and one part happy. Red flowers, parrots and monkeys play an important role in Frida’s paintings, which is why I also included them in this painting.<br /> <br />Jackie Sleper<br /><a href="http://www.jackiesleper.com">www.jackiesleper.com</a><br />(photo Ruben de Heer)Dulce y Amargohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03819001009789734132noreply@blogger.com
