  • Houston Arts Alliance 2018 Artist Roster
    2018 Artist Roster Fariba Abedin Houston, TX I have always been fascinated by the beauty of nature and its integral parts, colors, and geometry. The geometric shapes and the rich colors of Persian tile works appeal to me. The architecture and structures of the most unique domes in the mosques and their unparalleled mirror works still mesmerize me, reminding me of my childhood. My work emphasizes exploration of color using geometric abstraction as my foundation. www.faribaabedin.com Our work is usually characterized by a strong profile, a sense of humor, and Actual Size Artworks excellent craftsmanship. We are especially dedicated to works that change as a Stoughton, WI viewer walks past, creating a sense of discovery and keeping up interest upon www.actualsizeartworks.com repeated viewing. Adela Andea Houston, TX Formally, my work has a very distinctive style and it presents original and cutting edge ideas. I create light installations and light sculptures using the latest technologies in the industry and a variety of materials that suit my vision for each installation. I believe that the vibrant energy and the unique aesthetics of my work will bring liveliness, color, and brightness to any site in the Houston area. www.adelaandea.com Bennie Flores Ansell Houston, TX I realize the ethereal nature of my work does not lend itself to favorable long-lasting public art installations. However, I have been printing images of the light projections on dye infused metal which can be printed very large and are very moveable as well as permanent. Most recently, I started working with a laser cutter and a 3-D printer that will allow for new and sturdy presentations of my work and ideas.

    NYC2021 The CowParade God’s Love We Deliver is excited to announce that the Cow Parade is coming back to New York City this summer with God’s Love as the exclusive charity partner! If you were in the city in 2000, you likely recall the CowParade public art event during the summer of that year, which culminated in a live auction that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for New York City non-profits including God’s Love We Deliver. The Mayor’s oce estimated that some 45 million people came to see the cows during the three months of the exhibit. CowParade began in New York and has gone on to stage another 90+ public art exhibits in 34 countries with more than 6,000 life size Fiberglass cows painted and imaginatively transformed by many thousands of global artists and sculptors. God’s Love is thrilled to be staging the 100th global CowParade event this August. NYC2021 Why Moo? The cow is simply a unique, three-dimensional canvas to which artists can easily relate. There really is no other animal that could adequately substitute for the cow. The surface area and bone structures are just right, as well as the height and length. Even more importantly, the cow is an animal we all love. One of the first words we say in our infancy is moo. Cows provide many the milk that fosters our development, and milk is the basis of childhood treats like ice cream. The cow is whimsical, quirky and never threatening. That is why so much of the art in this show causes us to laugh, smile and just feel good, something that New York City is yearning for.
