Henry Asencio Is an Award-Winning Contemporary Artist, Whose Style Combines Realism and Abstract Painting Techniques Henry Asencio is an award-winning Contemporary Artist, whose style combines realism and abstract painting techniques. He was the recipient of the Gold and Silver Medal of the Amsterdam Art Competition and Art Business News has honored him as Today’s Top Artist. His work has been exhibited internationally and domestically as one man shows in London, Dusseldorf, Alberta, New York, Hawaii, Atlanta, Washington D.C., and at Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. His museum exhibition includes Latino Art Museum and The Triton Museum in California. Asencio has painted live and has been broadcasted on NBC, CBS, Fox News, MTV, E!, and many private venues worldwide. Merging introspection and visual spectacle, Asencio's personal investigations of the figure and abstraction, possess the power to transform today's ideals of elegance and sensuality. His open brushwork, sweeping colors, use of texture, and precise drawing has vastly become the artist's hallmark. Symbolic of the approach to his art, the mystique of the female form builds the structure of each new painting. Asencio's use of color sets the mood and a fury of texture creates an urgency to elicit heartfelt emotion. Asencio is inspired by feminine beauty, life, experience, and nature. Abstraction of subconscious thought and reality entwine to tell the artist's story. It is the artists’ intention to express a fleeting moment and the human condition. Asencio's art has been described as "Abstract Naturalism" and his work is strongly influenced by Lucien Freud, Willem de Kooning, Pablo Picasso, and Gustav Klimt. His loyal collectors consist of a long roster of politicians and pro athletes, including Barry Bonds of SF Giants and Rex Ryan of The Jets. Asencio’s art is widely appreciated and collected by a number of celebrities including Anne Heche, Glenn Close, Viola Davis, Rooney Mara, Michelle Williams, Demian Bichir, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Berenice Bejo, Jessica Chastain, Melissa McCarthy, Kenneth Branagh, Max von Sydow, Alexander Payne, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Terrence Malick, and Billy Crystal. Asencio is the official American Heart Association artist and he was commissioned in 2013 for its Red Campaign annual fundraising. He has supported various other charities, including Boys and Girls Club, The Health Trust for AIDS campaign, Tim Watts Scholarship, and breast cancer awareness campaign.

Her signature pieces have been presented regularly at the Oscars, the Grammys, and the ESPN/ESPY Awards. Her designs have graced art and fashion magazines regularly, including ELLE, WWD, Jimon (France), and Femina (India). Candra was chosen by Women’s Wear Daily Group and Paris’ Galleries Lafayette to present her Spring 2014 Collection at WWDMAGIC Designer Showcase in Las Vegas. She has recently been honored by Fashion Group International as one of the Top 20 Emerging American Designers. Based in New York and San Francisco, Candra draws on her experience from growing up in three different continents and having logged an extensive travel diary of over 400 cities and 40 countries to create her unique collections. The signature handpainted fabrics of BlacMéra that are adopted from Candra’s lifelong travel photographs express brilliant oxymora. Rustic garage doors, crumbling ancient windows, dusty old kaleidoscope, a broken butterfly wing; are among prints depicting subjects of abandon that are transformed into luxurious textile and lavish garments. It is an art of capturing beautiful emotions out of notorious unpleasantness, simply her way of seeing beauty with a different lens. She is known for her powerful and complex silhouettes combined with feminine lines and meticulous details. Candra's work has earned her accolades and strong followers in the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. A true couturier, her work exhibits dynamic emotions, stillness, strength, and vulnerability all on the same palette. She is the master of the yin's and yang's opposite attracts and the paradox of ideals. Candra's design aesthetics is largely influenced by Valentino Garavani, Alexander McQueen, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Coco Chanel, and Óscar de la Renta. Candra is also an accomplished writer, photographer, and food critic. She is one of women entrepreneurs chosen to crowd-author the book titled “Innovating Women” that has been featured on Forbes and Inc. magazines. The book outlines various struggles, challenges, and a look into the future of women’s evolving role in innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship. Her two other books will be published later this year: "LIFE" - a collection of her photography work in the last ten years depicting the chronicle of life around the world; and "The Untold Saga of Taste" - a journal of her culinary quests, spice research and exploration, and their ties to symbolism in various cultures. Candra writes regularly on her travel and gastronomy blog and she is the founder of two haute cuisine clubs in San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Candra is a long-term supporter and philanthropist for various development programs for women and children in several countries, including a sustainable resettlement program for the Maasai tribe in Tanzania, human trafficking in Haiti, and women's rights for education in Afghanistan. She was on the Board of Directors for the United Nations San Francisco and she currently serves as Mentor for Thiel Foundation and Ambassador for UNICEF's TAP Project. Josh Gillick, an American filmmaker, started his career Art Directing for PBS. His notable work includes two Emmy winning shows: Real Science - a long running children science show on PBS; and Return to the Valley - a documentary premiered on PBS about the resettlement experiences of Japanese Americans after World War II. In 2002 Gillick branched out to create the production company ArtistFilm and with it he brought unique video marketing concept and tool to the fine art industry, working with various accomplished artists like Henry Asencio, Thomas Arvid, and Michael Flohr. ArtistFilm has produced nine short films and one feature film to date, including Sedona's Rule, distributed internationally by Green Apple Entertainment, Inc. Gillick wrote, directed, and produced Sedona’s Rule. He also directed the filming of Miss World USA 2007 and he has edited a short feature film chronicling the event.

Together they currently have a number of feature films and television series in development with major film studios and television networks. Gillick shot and directed the campaign video for the American Heart Association featuring Henry Asencio for his 2013 Red Campaign annual fundraising commission. He spends his free time painting, writing and traveling to feed his passion for photography.

Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza and Nineteenth-century American Painting1 Marta Ruiz del Árbol When dealing, as in this case, with a museum that originated from a private collection, the figure of the collector – the person who assembled for posterity all the works of art that surround us – is of paramount importance. What drove him to choose a particular painting? What prompted him to take interest in a particular artist, movement or period and ignore others? The Illusion of the American Frontier exhibition provided us with Fig. 1 an opportunity to focus on an artistic period in Hans Heinrich Thyssen- View of room 30 of the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Bornemisza’s collection that has always attracted historians’ attention. where some of the nineteenth-century American paintings in the permanent collection are on show What led a European to start collecting nineteenth-century American art when no one on the Old Continent was interested in it? What concerns and passions spurred him to develop an interest in artists who were completely unknown in Europe at the time and with whom people are still largely unfamiliar even today? This was, no doubt, one of the rarities of the baron’s taste and made him a rara avis in European collecting.

Much of what we value today is from their unique contributions that have shaped the social, cultural and historic landscape. Jaye MacAskill But just how much do we fully know of this tapestry of cultures? Our understanding of how we have been molded by these pioneers, trailblazers, Dan Soderberg and immigrants may be somewhat incomplete. This issue shines a light on a few of the peoples who have made us what we are today, however short a time John Eisenhart they were here, but can only scratch the surface of the multitude of stories that make up the diversity of ethnicities of our communities. Jessica McGee Ken Anderson This diversity of cultures has greatly influenced our region’s architecture, David Goldberg Erik Hanson landscapes, and commercial and residential communities. From our historic Judi O’Boyle architecture to our indoor/outdoor lifestyle that was embraced by the Spanish John Oldenkamp and Mexican people, to the layer upon layer of newcomers from all over Scott Sandel the world who arrived here one way or another, by land or sea, our overall Heather Sullivan character has been established and grown from all of this. Curtis Drake Ex Officio SOHO has been vocal about the loss of the African-American district downtown, and most of the Italian and Portuguese communities that once made up Little Italy and parts of Point Loma; we feel these are some of the worst changes we have endured as a city.
