Paula Shaughnessy

"I’ve always been drawn to Day of the Dead art; the significance of honoring the people we’ve loved and lost, and the connection to them that continues to exist as long as we remember them. I like bright color and contrast, hard graphic lines, and taking a topic so emotionally and physically complex and making something simple and beautiful of it. My work honors love most of all - I believe that in the end, no matter what else you've done with your life, it's what and how you've loved that matters."

Ray Arcadio

Ray’s work is about people’s necessity to go to extremes with their beauty, beliefs or expression. “I don’t judge what drives us to these extremes; rather I’m fascinated by the physical manifestation, but whatever the "drive" is, it starts a chain of events that ends up being the subject of my paintings.” Ray was born in the Dominican Republic and is the founding member of the culture jamming collaborative group Artfux. He obtained a BFA from New Jersey City University. Ray has exhibited around the United States and has appeared in various newspapers, magazines and television shows. His works are in various private collections including the Jersey City Museum in Jersey City, NJ, The Museum of Modern Religious Art at the University of St. Louis in St. Louis, MO and the Museo Moderno de Arte, Santo Domingo, RD. Ray Arcadio currently lives and works in New Jersey.

JA Pacheco

Latin Pop Shop welcomes artist JA Pacheco.

About her work, Pacheco says:
"Creating art can be an addiction. Some of my best work has come from experiments in provoking reaction. I work to make my images a message. From an early age of 11 to now, 20+ years later, the conviction still flows strong. It's one of the most beautiful obsessions ever. When making art, I lose track of time and space. Just the next stroke of my brush or finishing that last section of sculpture keeps me going. My work always gives praise to color and shape. I am a great fan of soft curves and contrasts; deriving part or all of my pieces from those variables. I like fire, vibrancy and movement even when it's a figure in repose. My path in the arts has had great influences. From an early age I received encouragement by my family and observing the artwork of a variety of Nicaraguan artists to International Masters of old. Artistic influences are many and each one has helped me view my own work in a special light. "

We proudly welcome Zoila Minaya to our growing familia of artists!

"My paintings relate to the microscopic world. Working with organic shapes that resemble cross sections of cell tissues and one-cell organisms. The compositions of these works are not premeditated. They take form and grow spontaneously. In contrast, printmaking allows me to create more controlled visual textures and lines. Woodcut prints, in particular, are a joy to make. My prints are a celebration of nature and the animal kingdom."

Hispanic Heritage Month: Things to do

El caballero de Olmedo/The Knight from Olmedo By Lope de Vega
At: GALA Hispanic Theatre, Washington DC
Directed by José Luis Arellano García
Sep 16 - Oct 17, 2010
Thur-Sat 8 pm - Sun 3 pm
Ticket: Thur and Sun $32 Regular, $20 Students, Senior Citizens & Military- Frid and Sat $36 Regular, $26 Students, Senior citizens & Military.

Based on a popular folk tale about a young knight who is slain as he travels from Medina to Olmedo after a bullfight. In what has become a classic love story in Hispanic dramaturgy and a celebrated piece of the Spanish Golden Age, Lope explores themes of love, violence, honor and jealousy. Lope deviated from traditional tragicomedy where tragedy is averted to result in a happy ending, and created a masterpiece that evolves in a comedic manner, with dark undertones, and then moves to a tragic end. Driven by passion, the characters also discover the potential for violence that lurks within that intense emotion, and that ultimately destroys them.
