GERRY KELLY AND TWO-BEAR MAMBO JOIN MODERN ART MUSIC MOVEMENT

South Beach impresario, Gerry Kelly, and the Brazilian-U.K. band, Two-Bear Mambo, have joined the eclectic mix of Modern Art and Modern Music in the budding Modern Art Music Movement. The list of international acts providing a soundtrack to the first of its kind Modern Art Graphic Novella entitled, Capicua 3-1-3: The Long Arm of The Law, is set to include modern Rap, R & B, Reggae and Country acts as well. Modern Latino artist, Victor-Hugo, says he hopes to introduce new music and art to fans that would not normally intermingle, with his inception of the Modern Art Music Movement.

Gerry Kelly, a global legend in A-list allure who took Miami’s South Beach club scene from crass to couture, plans to put his magic touch on Victor-Hugo’s Modern Art Music Movement (MAMM). The man known for being one step ahead of the crowd is pushing the envelope with Victor-Hugo. The two visionaries plan to bring a new Modern Art experience to the “Sundance by the Sea” of the Modern Art World known as Art Basel Miami in 2006.

Negotiations are under way with Giancarlo Politi Editore, publisher of the avant-garde Flash Art International and Flash Art Italia magazines, to showcase Victor-Hugo’s Beautiful Chaos artwork at The Fifth on South Beach. The Art Basel Bash promises A-list attendees a unique experience incorporating the MAMM with Victor-Hugo’s Salvador-Dali-like paintings on display from his real time mystery, Capicua 3-1-3: The Long Arm of the Law.

The Two-Bear Mambo contributes their modern mix of 70’s hard rock and 80’s punk to the MAMM in Victor-Hugo’s www.victorhugogallery.com photo gallery.

Two-Bear Mambo originally formed in Brazil years ago under a different name. Guided by Brazilian musician, Denfire, Two-Bear Mambo has since reformed in the U.K. with Italian Bassist Umbi, formerly of The Duvalls, which toured with The Damned and Drummer Martin, from Liverpool, who has shared the stage with bands such as NOFX and Extreme Noise Terror.

Asked to comment on their participation in the MAMM, Denfire had this to say,

”We find this collaboration between art and music fantastic. Especially considering Victor-Hugo’s type of work; his non-conformist diatribes and pictures, always give space for the viewer/listener to think his own way. That's more or less how Two-Bear Mambo goes and since visual art is probably the most efficient type of art, listening to some sort of music, when complemented by a strong image, gives a special touch to the whole idea, sometimes even changing the original idea, but leading you to something interesting.”

Victor-Hugo says he hopes his collaboration with musicians from different musical genres will break down barriers that exist because of the top 40 radio format, which has kept many great bands from being heard by a wider audience.

“Each painting tells a story. Every story has a soundtrack. Beginning with the Poetry in Motion performance of G. Anthony, in the Politics of the Penis Series, and Phil Rothwell’s beautiful lyrics lending depth to the Finale, the Modern Art Music Movement has been spurred on by fans requests to continue the trend and talented musicians contacting me wanting to participate.

I am so glad to see that people are getting it. At first skeptics told me that the two genres wouldn’t mix. I was told that the concept was too high-brow for this generation of music fans and art collectors. The cynic’s felt serious art collector’s would be too stuffy to understand the concept and that new music fans would not want to dabble in fine art or be interested in reading a serial novel. I think I’ve proven that the two audiences can coexist. We are not as unhip or uneducated of a global culture as some would have you presume. I believe bands like U2, Radiohead and Coldplay help drive that point home.”

Victor-Hugo goes on to say that his fans are relating to his artwork because it speaks loudly about the hypocrisy which corrupts the world under the guise of political correctness.

“People are seeing the humor in my work, whether it be the writing, the artwork, or the photography. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I think people appreciate the candid relationship I have with the public. I have heard that the internet killed the video star by MySpace surfers who say they spend hours in front of the computer seeking the kind of genuine alternative entertainment that is missing from the classic Boob Tube.

My website allows visitors to explore an alternative world through what I call the Beautiful Chaos. Essentially it is a diary on canvas, paper, video, and photography of the world at large. I point out the good, the bad, and everything in between which makes this world such a beautiful place to live in and experience. The music and poetry expresses with sound what can not be explored visually. If you listen to the music and stare into the screen, the story begins to unfold on a deeper level.”

Victor-Hugo says he tries not to give away too much about each piece, allowing the viewer’s imagination to conjure up creative stories of their own. “I’m often amazed at what people see in my paintings. I find myself listening to people’s confessions. Oftentimes, they share their deepest darkest secrets with me as they explain what they see in my work, it’s absolutely fascinating.”

Victor-Hugo says he wants his artwork to reach out to those who feel disassociated from the world.

“My work reflects the exciting atmosphere of change that is crackling around the globe. I believe we are living in a new age of cross cultural enlightenment which is being fed by the internet. Cyberspace is breaking down the barriers and prejudices created by modern media outlets which shamelessly reinforce stereotypes and promote mistrust.”

Victor-Hugo’s latest project deals with the complexities of being a judge in the United States. “I have met many judges, in unexpected places on my journeys around this wacky world. Meeting judges outside the courthouse in social settings has allowed me to appreciate the mental fortitude it takes to make life changing decisions which can alter the course of history, day in and day out.”

Victor-Hugo claims his revealing new chapter in the Capicua 3-1-3 tale will deal with real issues that torment modern day judges. He plans to interview retired and acting judges so that the stories they share with him in confidence will translate onto the canvas and tell their story, from their unique perspective. Asked what inspired this new chapter in his Modern Art Graphic novella, the artist answered,

“The outcome of the “Crack-Head Jesus and the Jewish Attorney Case” was so baffling, it lead attorney Aaron Cohen to surmise that the judge who handled the case was incompetent. I asked Mr. Cohen to explain the outcome of the case being written about as part of The Dark Series and all he could say was that Judge Beller is an asshole. I’ve been called an asshole before, so I know there are often two sides to every story. I decided to find out from Judge Beller, himself, just what lead to his decision, because I know when someone calls another person an asshole, it’s usually because that person is just misunderstood.”

www.victorhugogallery.com

Judge Eric Beller was asked to comment on the outcome of the case of "Crackhead Jesus and the Jewish Attorney". His judicial assistant, Teresa Sugar, said Judge Eric Beller had no comment on the case and added that she wasn't surprised by Attorney Aaron Cohen's comments about the judge.

Victor-Hugo says he hand delivered the following letter to over 30 judge’s chambers in both Broward and Dade County Courthouses:

Good Day,

My name is Victor-Hugo. I am an artist doing a piece on justice and the law in the United States. I am looking to educate and inform my fans through my artwork about what it entails to be a judge in this modern day and age. I have met many judges in my life in social settings outside of the courthouse and have become aware of what it entails to make decisions that can alter the course of an individual’s life.

I am providing complete and total anonymity to all who participate, so that my fans can get an honest opinion and outlook on the life and mental process of a judge.

Please visit my website at www.victorhugogallery.com so that you can get an idea of who I am and how my artwork is allowing audiences around the world to open their eyes to new experiences.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to learning from you.

Respectfully,

Victor-Hugo

Victor-Hugo has spent much time in court lately researching his latest series. He encourages people around the world to take a day and visit their local courts to see how things operate.

“You don’t want to be caught off guard one day and show up to court, not as a visitor, but as a plaintiff or defendant, only to find out the hard way that there is a big difference between the law and justice in the judicial system.” Victor-Hugo adds, “Like everything in life, the legal system in any country is never perfect, though it should always strive to be. The only way this can even be remotely possible is if private citizens show up to monitor the proceedings, otherwise they can not complain when elected judges interpret the laws haphazardly.”

Look for new episodes of the “Capicua 3-1-3: Long Arm of the Law” tale to debut on the www.victorhugogallery.com syndicated website in the upcoming weeks as part of the Modern Art Music Movement.

First Chapter of Groundbreaking Modern Art Graphic Novella Premieres With Para Chavez! For Bush!

To give you an idea of how long it takes to create a simple looking piece like, “Para Chavez! For Bush!” , I’ve included the soundtrack it took to create this painting. I thank all the artists and musicians who inspired me along the way with their own brilliance, artistry and noble intentions to leave the world a better place through music.

Though the music inspired the strokes and colors of this painting, the idea for this work of art took two years of life experience to create. “Para Chavez! For Bush!” has completely revolutionized my painting technique. It has allowed me to open the book to page one of a story begging to be told.

Everything preceding this painting was an introduction to the saga about to unfold over the next series of www.victorhugogallery.com Blog entries. This painting is the First Chapter of the “Capicua 3-1-3: The Long Arm of the Law” mystery.

Like most things in Life, this piece is not as simple as it appears. It is as diverse as the music and people which inspired it. There are two identical pictures of the same persons, to symbolize both the yin and yang which exists in all of us and also to represent the two sides of every story which humans must accept when trying to resolve any conflict.

I used materials left over from the defunct, interactive “Hurricane Wilma Exhibit”. The controversial exhibit which ran concurrently with Miami’s Art Basel 2005, was both censored and destroyed, not once, but twice, by forces unwilling to allow the general public to see past the media induced truth. (See Miami Herald Article of Media Section in www.victorhugogallery.com)

The copper and electrical wire transfer energy from one individual to another while at the same time infusing a distinct personality in the individuals pictured. The screws, Tapcons, nails, and plastic staples form a triangle of power which embodies and maintains the individuals’ unique persona.

The Cuban Cohiba Cigar was given to me by a brilliant man with a great weight on his chest due to the soft spot in his heart. He gave me this cigar in thanks for listening to him without prejudice and for judging him as a human being rather than judging him by his job.

www.victorhugogallery.com

On the month long journey which encompasses the first chapter of Capicua 3-1-3: The Long Arm of the Law I met some fascinating people from all walks of life. I met them in a small town about an hour from San Fernando and two hours from Port of Spain, Trinidad. I was a guest in this weird and wonderful world; far from the civilization I felt safe in. I was taken in by strangers who at first looked at me as “The White Man” and later took to calling me their friend. These people taught me so much about life and the world we live in, that I see them more as angels than anything else.

www.victorhugogallery.com

We were able to look past each other’s life title, and accept each other for what we truly were at that particular time in our lives. I met high ranking judges, public officials, holy men, perverts, deviants, mothers, girlfriends, hookers, and a myriad of lost souls seeking meaning in their lives. Through our thoughts, dialogue, and cultural exchanges, we were able to grow as human beings.

I went to Trinidad to experience the Hindu Wedding Tradition and immerse myself in the Indian culture. A Hindu friend and business partner was approaching his mid thirties and his family had arranged for him to marry a young virgin from his native land. I was invited to participate in the month long wedding ritual and stay at his ninety eight year old grandmother’s farm.

I arrived in Trinidad without any knowledge of the land, the culture, or its politics. I soon realized that this place was no different than anywhere else I’d been in the world. I came to learn that the Beautiful Chaos which exists in nature also flourishes in the most remote regions of the world.

I learned to live off the land and to honor the lives of the animals I slaughtered for my survival. I had never killed anything before, save for insects and pride, so the experience was quit humbling and nearly transformed me into a vegan. Alas, I learned so much from that journey, the lessons of which are still unfolding today, in this real time tale.

One of the things I’ve learned since then is that the United States government is suing Kentucky Fried Chicken for frying its chicken in unhealthy oil. I practically survived on KFC when I was in Trinidad. I actually walked an hour and a half down a dirt road lined with cattle, goats, sheep, and other livestock to devour the Kentucky Fried Chicken being sold at the nearest town. I can only imagine the kind of grease my chicken was being fried in over in Trinidad. With such potentially clogged arteries, it’s no wonder I am still alive.

The Colonel came to symbolize for me what Ronald McDonald has come to symbolize for millions of Americans overseas, a friendly face. McDonald’s is everywhere in the world, but the Middle East. It is a symbol of Americanism and culture. It is oftentimes a safe harbor for any American traveler. For that reason, the Golden Arches are represented in this piece as well.

The “M’s” in this painting are sometimes made to appear like the Golden Arches and a woman’s breasts. I did this because, though people may hate McDonald’s, the institution has become as culturally accepted or deplored around the world as breast milk and public breast feeding. Just because you hate it, disagree with it, or love it, doesn’t mean either means of survival is going to go away any time soon.

Another thing I learned during my trip to Trinidad was that prejudice was not just a black and white issue as it is in the United States.

In Trinidad the blacks hate the Indians and the Indians hate the blacks. Some might say that what I am writing is stereotypical and a blanket observation, and they may be right, all I know is that every black person I met in Trinidad told me that the Indians were a bunch of money hungry, two faced, hypocrites who couldn’t be trusted.

On the other hand, every Indian I met told me that blacks were a bunch of lazy, good for nothing thieves, that were just jealous of the Indian’s prominent status in Trinidad. Both sides made good arguments as to why the other race should be hated. However, being the only white guy in the middle of nowhere, I decided it would be best if I did not take sides on this issue.

Instead, I took my camera and wandered around the strange new land exploring the possibility of coexisting with both races and in so doing, living both sides of the Trinidadian equation. I approached this unique opportunity as a Hispanic American born and raised in New York City during the Age of Aquarius.

Perhaps my mind set going into this project can be summed up by the statements made by some of my white “American” friends who previewed “Para Chavez! For Bush!” saying:

“What are you calling this one, Connect the Whores?”

While my girlfriend, at the time, commented, “What’s with all the niggers?”

I confess the first remark did make me laugh, primarily because of the way he said it, but my ex-girlfriends remark disturbed me because she perceived herself to be an upstanding moral and ethical person in the community. I was confused as to how someone who everyone respected because of her seemingly high moral fiber could spew such hatred without hesitation.

Essentially, this complex art piece seeks to explore perception. In honor of people like her and Mel Gibson, I dotted the “i” in the word “white” with a black circle, to represent the fact that within every Saint, there lurks a Sinner. We are all prejudiced to some degree, so it is not fair to judge people like Mel Gibson or my ex for their bigoted opinions which were most likely based on their own human experiences with Jews or Blacks.

www.victorhugogallery.com

This mixed media art piece show’s clearly that there are always two sides to every story.

www.victorhugogallery.com

The irregularities in life are what make life so enriching and rewarding and are also what make life so difficult to comprehend. On the one hand, the women in this piece are “Niggers”, I suppose, and some of these women may very well be “Whores”, but who is to say that they are not also Doctor’s, Nurses, Kindergarten Teachers, Mothers, and Wives?

www.victorhugogallery.com

In the end, everybody runs around saying what they are, when truly, they should be saying what they want to be. Ultimately we are all human, but in what sense? Jesus was human, but ill perceived, so he was nailed to a cross.

www.victorhugogallery.com

Hitler was human, and perceived well enough to convince ordinary citizens to condone unspeakable acts.

If the Beautiful Chaos of the world has taught me anything, it is that we are intrinsically programmed for self preservation. We may hold titles of Judge, President, Teacher, or Mother but in the end we are nothing more than frail confused human beings.

www.victorhugogallery.com

Through my artwork, and the Modern Art Graphic Novella of “Capicua 3-1-3: The Long Arm of the Law”, I hope to share the lessons I have learned from the diverse group of people I’ve met on my life’s journey and the ironic situations which have evolved from these relationships.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT AND THE CLASH INSPIRE VICTOR-HUGO’S MODERN ART MUSIC MOVEMENT.

What do Frank Lloyd Wright, The Clash, and Modern Artist Victor-Hugo have in common? From beginning to end, throughout all their work, one important element remains constant, the consideration of human values. These three seemingly different artists all ostensibly placed humankind in the center of their work.

Frank Lloyd Wright always saw man as the focal point of his creations which were closely bound up with nature. Wright’s first consideration as an architect was placing man in the center of any of his buildings. The great American architect (1867-1959) exerted a unique influence on construction during the first half of the 20th Century.

Frank Lloyd Wright had been deeply moved by "This Will Kill That," a chapter in Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris, which Wright called "the best amateur essay on architecture ever published." Wright came upon Victor Hugo's idea that the Renaissance was the end of architecture. "It is to this setting sun," Hugo wrote, "that we look for a new dawn."

Wright believed that the new dawn was organic architecture, a set of principles rather than a style, but still antithetical to Burnham and the convential architectural wisdom of the era. Hugo had predicted that "the great good fortune of having an architect of genius may befall the twentieth century, like a Dante in the thirteenth," leaving the lasting impression on Wright that he, and only he, was that architect.

So how did Frank Lloyd Wright influence the Modern Art Music Movement which Latino artist Victor-Hugo has created with the collaboration of talented musicians around the world?

Asked to comment, Victor-Hugo had this to say:

“I was reading, A Testament, a book which Frank Lloyd Wright had written in 1957, just two years before his death and listening to The Clash at the same time. The book, which is a biographical review of his work and how it came about, deals with his perception of human values. I was reading the last chapter of the book, entitled “Humanity-The Light of the World” when The Clash’s “Know Your Rights” started playing.

The passage I was reading described Wright’s explanation of humane architecture and how he felt that the quality of humanity is interior to man. He felt the element of Man as Light, or the inner light which some call humanity, was beyond all reckoning and human comprehension. Wright recognized Buddha as the light of Asia and Jesus as the light of the world. He believed sunlight was to nature as this interior light is to man’s spirit. He called it Manlight.”

At this point Victor-Hugo grabs a notebook and begins to read from a quote in Frank Lloyd Wright’s book which, he says, inspired him when he read it in conjunction with the sound of the Clash’s “Know Your Rights” playing in the background.

“Manlight is above instinct. Human imagination by way of this interior light is born, conceives, and creates: dies but to continue the light of existence only as this light lived in the man. The spirit is illumined by it and to the extent that his life is this light and it proceeds from him, it in turn illumines his kind. Affirmations of this light in human life and work are man’s true happiness.

Now when you take those simple but deep words and infuse them with the even simpler and deeper words of The Clash’s know your rights, the combination seeped into my subconscious and at that moment I realized that music was the driving force of everything I had ever created. I contacted some of my friends in the music industry,they liked the idea, and that's how the Modern Art Music Movement was born.

I simply can’t paint without music. Music is a major part of what I do and how I express myself on canvas. It is a pleasure and honor to have collaborated and shared inspiration with the musicians who have participated in this Movement of awareness and education through music and art.

The combination of Wright’s words and the lyrics of the song “Know Your Rights” sums up the Beautiful Chaos which I have experienced throughout my life. Especially as an artist I have met many people searching for their Manlight in many different ways with varying degrees of success.

Unfortunately, though it seems we are all essentially pure at our core, the Manlight seems to dim as we display our exterior selves to the rest of the world. We all seem to live with a guarded degree of self awareness which does not allow for us to be truly humane. This inevitably leads to the conflict I deal with in my paintings and which the Musicians involved in this project deal with in their music.

Take heed to the lyrics in “Know Your Rights” because we live in a litigious day and age where lawyers and judges make and break the rules their clients and constituents pay them or elect them to uphold. I have nothing against lawyers or judges, I happen to know many of both that are brilliant, fair, and ethical. However, I also know many that are the yin to that yang. As citizens of the world, seeking the common goal of a peaceful existence for ourselves, our families, and future generations, it is imperative that we know our rights.

www.victorhugogallery.com

In the words of the Clash,

“This is a public service announcement, with guitar, know your rights, all three of them I say. Number one, you have the right not to be killed. Murder is a crime, unless it was done by a policeman or aristocrat.

Number two, you have the right to food money, providing, of course, you don’t mind a little humiliation, investigation, and, if you cross your fingers, rehabilitation.

Young offenders know your rights.

Number three, you have the right to free speech. As long as you’re not dumb enough to actually try it.

www.victorhugogallery.com

Know your rights. These are your rights, all three of them. It has been suggested in some quarters, that this is not enough. Well get off the streets, get off the streets. Run! Don’t you have a home to go to?

Finally, then, I will read you your rights. You have the right to remain silent. You are warned that anything you say can and will be taken down and used as evidence against you. Listen to this. Run!”

Victor-Hugo says that fans of his Capicua 3-1-3: The Long Arm of the Law awaiting the first Chapter of his Modern Art Graphic Novella will have to wait, because the attorneys he hired to protect him from threats of slander and other attempts to silence the artist are experiencing technical difficulties at the moment.

www.victorhugogallery.com

In the meantime, he promises to provide the final Chapter in his surprisingly popular Dark Series story of “Crackhead Jesus and the Jewish Attorney” based on his “Chaos” painting, in the upcoming weeks.

“I have to pass it by some attorneys, first. Apparently you can’t be an artist in this day and age without someone trying to sue you for something. Unlike me and other artists who are not afraid to exploit and talk about our fears and vices, certain people are afraid to admit their shortcomings. They feel that they must hide behind the veiled threat of litigation to avoid admitting that they are human and fallible like everyone else."

www.victorhugogallery.com

"I’m not about pointing out people’s faults and pointing a finger at anyone for blame. I’m just telling a story on canvas and via the internet about humanity. People are relating to my stories and paintings because they see a bit of themselves or someone they know in my creations. Others are feeling offended because they see something in my characters and paintings that hits so close to home, they feel my work is a threat to their reputation."

www.victorhugogallery.com

"What is a reputation anyway? At the end of the day, the only one who really knows if you’ve lied on the stand under oath is you and your Manlight. If your internal batteries are weak, I suppose it’s up to you to do something about it, because you can only fool people for so long before they realize what your true reputation is in this life.”

Visit the www.victorhugogallery.com virtual art gallery for examples of the Modern Art Music Movement and look for the U.K. band Two-Bear Mambo to infuse their own musical inspiration to the Photo Gallery's Ethereal Series. They are the first musical group to contribute artistry to the Modern Art Music Movement in the Photo Gallery section.

Bands or DefJam poets looking to participate in the Modern Art Music Movement can contact Victor-Hugo via his MySpace page which is available on the www.galeriavictorhugo.com links page. Submissions are being reviewed for future additions to the MAMM.

Victor-Hugo’s latest work of art is on display at the 55th Street Station Gallery near the Miami Design District. MAMM shows are being planned for ART BASEL MIAMI in December tentatively scheduled for popular South Beach Club’s POST and THE FIFTH.

Art Fusion Gallery in the Design District will be showcasing Victor-Hugo’s Beautiful Chaos paintings during its 2007 New Years Show scheduled for January 3.

Look for dates and venues showcasing Victor-Hugo’s MAMM artwork to be announced in The Miami Herald’s Art Basel Miami 2006 Guide.
