Drawing inspiration from the sights, colors and people of his native Panama, Miami-based visual artist Alfonso Rendon artistically known as 'Masplata' unearths a world of rare beauty onto the public eye. Starting from the premise that "colors, like words, are basic units of meaning that can convey messages when combined", Rendon has created an eclectic body of work and styles that are as diverse as language itself.
From his signature traces that rival the sharpness and precision of computer graphics, ranging from his ethereal brushstrokes in watercolor and the bold richness of his oil paintings, his styles attest to the ever-expanding nature of his workmanship.
"The unknown has always drawn me from an early age, " states Masplata. "But rather than see it as 'a theme to explore through art', I see it as the driving force that compels me to follow its lead." For this commitment to let medium, materials and circumstances, both internal and external, guide his creative process blindly, he sets himself apart artistically.
Like a deep-sea diver that takes the plunge on faith, Rendon approaches art-making with the fullest aperture of spirit. He never has agenda when starting out a piece and he usually ignores the content and meaning of what his hands are creating until completion. "I don't impose meaning, but rather let the unique backgrounds of my audiences suggest the meaning to their eyes."

It is well known that the 43-year-long marriage between Edward Hopper and Josephine Nivison Hopper was filled with tumult and strife. Edward, a dour, reticent, towering figure, constantly belittled and denigrated his assertive, diminutive wife, who responded with verbal assaults of her own. Hopper drew caricatures to express sour feelings toward his wife Jo, all of which were created from 1933-1952.
The exhibition 'Edward Hopper's Caricatures: At Home with Ed and Jo', on view at the artist's boyhood home in Nyack, New York - now called the Edward Hopper House Art Center - offers visual documentation of the Hoppers' sometimes ansty, occassionally humorous marriage. The 15 small pencil sketches, made between 1933 to '52, were drawn from the collection trust of the late Arthayer R. Sanborn, a family friend.
Rather than express his feelings in words, Edward would often dash off sketches when Jo was out of the room and leave them on the table for her to find when she returned. In spite of their many shared interested, both Hoppers harbored resentments: Jo because her own artistic career was overshadowed by Edward's, and Edward because he felt Jo was an inadequate wife. The caricatures are one-sided, of course, with Edward portraying himself as the victim of his wife's aggression and alleged failings as a homemaker and mocking of her artistic efforts.
But Edward also executed several watercolors of Jo painting, capturing intimate moments that are sensitive to the subject. Such works are reminders that for all their squabbling, the Hoppers bonded for many years, during which Edward created - with Jo's help as model, muse, record keeper and protector - the masterpieces that have long captured the American imagination.
Italian artist Federico Babina transforms iconic works of art from Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Piet Mondrian and more - Babina reinterprets these famous artworks as cross-sectional drawings of buildings in his series 'Archist'.
The collection of images playfully interprets the styles and themes of some of the world's greatest artists including Picasso, Salvador Dali and Joan Miro, and imagines them as architectural forms.
Babina explores the symbiotic relationship between architecture and art, and how they would interact with each other.
"Art and architecture are disciplines that speak and lightly touch each other," explained Babina. "The definition and function of architecture is changing constantly with the development of contemporary art."
