Born in Havana, Cuba, on October 24, 1963, he has resided in the USA since 1989. Josignacio is one of the artists of the controversial "La Generacion de los 80"[1][2][3][4][5] The 80s Generation[6] Contemporary Cuban Art or New Cuban Art is a movement within the Cuban plastic arts that develops from the 80s, they express as no manifestation of conscience, many burning issues of the reality of the country. A new attitude towards art is established, a moment of artistic inspiration in which the social role of art and its reflection of a critical self-awareness constitute the fundamental sense of the movement[7] The decade of the 1980s culturally contrasted a Cuba that was in a process of transition, confrontation and artistic revelations that consecrated the time as one of the most fertile. And those artists that get notoriety in the Island and abroad at that time, which includes and beginning in 1981 with the breakthrough of “Volume I”[8] Rubén Torres Llorca, José Bedia Valdés, de:Ricardo Brey, Juan Francisco Elso, Rogelio López Marín (Gory), Gustavo Pérez Monzón[9], José Manuel Fors, Leandro Soto Ortiz, Israel León, Tomás Sánchez and Carlos Alfonzo[10]. In the second half of the decade, other groups are formed as 4 x 4, Hexágono, Arte Calle, Grupo Provisional, the duet René Francisco Rodríguez and Eduardo Ponjuán González[11][12] ABTV, among others, being the strongest “Grupo Puré” with a new wave of young artists all graduated from ISA[13]: Ana Albertina Delgado Álvarez, Adriano Buergo, Ciro Quintana[14], Ermi Taño and Lázaro Saavedra which were greatly influenced by the German Kitsch art movement to express themselves. In addition, a large number of talented creators also excelled independently like Florencio Gelabert (sculptor)[15], Arturo Cuenca Sigarreta, Rigoberto Mena[16], Humberto Castro, Gustavo Acosta[17], Kcho, Antonio Eligio Fernandez (Tonel), Adriano Buergo, Flavio Garciandía[18], Tania Bruguera, Juan Francisco Elso, Carlos Rodríguez Cárdenas, Quisqueya Henríquez, Glexis Novoa[19], José Toirac, Carlos García, Heriberto Mora, Segundo Planes[20] and Pedro Vizcaíno among others.

Some of his artwork are available on display at artnet.

In 1984, he created the Plastic Paint Medium, a technique consisting of the use of epoxy resins as an "agglutinating medium" and "pigment" as colorants, obtaining a real plastic finish with a new visual effect.

Josignacio resides in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida.

Early life

As a child a number of well known artists who were family friends visited his household, such as Roberto Fabelo, René Portocarrero, Amelia Peláez, Felipe López, Mariano Rodriguez "El Gallego Posada" and Gilberto Marino, many of whom gave Josignacio art lessons. In 1983 passed the admissions test at the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) however before attending Josignacio shaved his head, when he came to school to attend the Dean banned him from the premises and from attending because they interpreted his head shaving as protest against the government.

In 1984 working as a helping hand for Martinez Anay and Andres Ugalde in the making of a big mural painting for the Military Patriotic Educational Society known as Sociedad de Educación Patriótico-Militar (SEPMI)[21] (the Cuban version of the Boy Scouts). This agency had been directed by Cuban Cosmonaut Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez. It was during this time Josignacio discovered that mixing epoxy resin with oil paintings was an excellent medium to paint with.

This new medium took him two years to develop and master. When he was ready his Uncle Gerardo got him his first personal exhibition at the Artistic and Literary Lyceum of the city of Regla on March 2, 1987. This was the first time that a complete paintings exhibition was made with only the plastic paint medium and had been displayed worldwide.

In 1988, Josignacio as a member of the "Asociación Hermanos Saíz"[22] was commissioned by their directives to make the design of one of the Havana Carnival's Floats.[23] As soon as he finished the design, he presented it to the commission and they canceled him arguing that they needed to give the Float design to another Cuban painter, Manuel Mendive; the reason was that in Miami one of Mendive's paintings titled "El Pavo Real" had been burned[24] by an anti-Castro militant a member of the Bay of Pigs Brigade 2506 and at that moment was necessary to give the revolution's support to the victim artist.

Since then his artwork had been on display at more than 20 exhibitions before finally being invited to exhibit his art in Mexico City on May 10, 1989.

With no explanation being given to him, all his planned shows at Auditorio Nacional (Mexico) The Gallery of the National Auditorium and Los Talleres de Coyoacán[25] were cancelled by orders of the Cuban embassy in Mexico City. After this turning point, he made the decision to come to the USA on September 14, 1989 and has resided there since then. Josignacio is an American Citizen.

Influences

The Cuban abstract art[26] have been very scarce or considerable silenced[27] after 1960 and most of the abstract artists were very influenced by the cubism movement (which wasn't of much interest by Josignacio) and two groups were formed in the late 1950s, one Los Once[28] (The Eleven) where the most prominent trends were the Informalism or Art Informel and concrete abstraction. The most outstanding figures of this abstract current joined in the group Los Once, as they were called by the initial number of participants which were formed by and they were: fr:Guido Llinás, Hugo Consuegra, René Salusitano Ávila Valdéz, Antonio Vidal Fernández, Viredo Espinosa, Fayad Jamís, Tomás Oliva, Agustín Cárdenas, José Antonio Díaz Peláez, Francisco Antigua, José Ignacio Bermúdez Vázquez and Diez Pintores Concretos (Ten Concrete Painters) whom were a radical group formed in Havana, Cuba in 1958, devoted to geometric abstraction. The Ten was formalized as a group in 1959 with its inaugural exhibition entitled “10 concrete painters exhibit paintings and drawings”, organized on the occasion of the second anniversary of the Color Light Art Gallery, a space managed by artists co-founded by Dolores Soldevilla Nieto and his partner Pedro de Oraá in 1957 to promote abstract art in Havana and was integrated by Pedro Carmelo Alvarez López, Mario Carreño Morales, Wilfredo Arcay Ochandarena, Salvador Corratgé, Sandú Darié Laver, Luis Martínez Pedro, Alberto Menocal, José Mijares, Pedro de Oraá, José Ángel Rosabal Fajardo, Dolores Soldevilla Nieto and Rafael Soriano. These artists briefly called themselves Los Diez Pintores Concretos — the 10 Concrete Painters — or, simply, Los Diez, the 10. Formally, their collective had a short life, 1959–61, and showed together as a group only three times. It was the culmination of nearly a decade of work, friendships, writing, lectures, sojourns and shows in Paris and New York, as well as local exhibitions. The group coalesced around Galería Color-Luz (Color-Light), which was started in Havana in 1957 by Lolo Soldevilla (1901–1971), just after she returned from several years in Paris as Cuba's cultural attaché. She was an artist with energy to burn, judging by the works representing her here. Her partner in the effort, another member of the 10, was Pedro de Oraá, an artist, poet and art critic, born in 1931, who would write a short history of the group.[29] That's why since his youth Josignacio only through art books was influenced by the abstract expressionists of the New York School (art); especially Jackson Pollock from whom he got the use of dripping and pouring paint on canvases but with pigmented epoxy resins instead of alkyd enamels, however, Dutch painter Karel Appel faces[30] and Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky mix of colors [31] have had a special focus. From Dutch-American Willem de Kooning[32] he got the centered figure compositions[33] The color palette of Josignacio is very extensive, but the spectrum of green mixed deliberately with bright reds and blacks has been his personal seal and what, along with his personal style of execution, has kept him (despite the influences) in a distinct and perfectly identifiable position. In his childhood Josignacio had been more motivated by color than by forms, a distinguishing factor in his artwork that was often noted among his older painters colleagues such as René Portocarrero, José Gómez Fresquet and Raúl Martínez (artist) closed friends of his family, which pushed and encourage him to keep in his abstract track. However, in his first art exhibition on March 2, 1987 in the Gallery of the Artistic and Literary Lyceum of Regla he included his self-portrait, which he did according to academic style, the rest of paintings were all abstracts. It was from this point of time, that his future as an abstract/neo-figurative painter had been decided.

Social causes and charity work

Josignacio has contributed to social causes. Most recently Josignacio is known for raising funds for the 2010 Haiti earthquake victims. For both Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Andrew, Josignacio helped raise funds for the victims. In 1992 after Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida he organized an auction with more than 100 Cuban painters for victims of the tragedy. In the early 1990s Josignacio helped raise funds for AIDS organizations such as "The Project Genesis." Since 1996 Josignacio has helped raise funds for the Miami Children's Hospital. His most recent donation was to Hedge Funds Care, an international charity, whose sole mission is preventing and treating child abuse and supported largely by the hedge fund industry.

Since 2010 Josignacio have being supporting several Russian Charity Organizations,[34][35] mostly those focused on children with autism, disabilities or special needs by fully donating his artworks to be sold.

  • 2017 – Siete Adagios para Safo y Ganimedes "Seven Adagios for Sappho and Ganymede"[69]

Despite the controversy of the homosexuality's delicate theme in the communist's Cuba, a collection of seven nonfigurative large format guitars curated by Journalist and writer Yoel Almaguer de Armas and Lic. in Art History Diana Rosa Crespo were exhibited in the Karl Marx Theatre. In the typical Josignacio's forms and colors, they based their selection in order to match the seven colors of the rainbow; a cure was made to symbolize the colors of the flag that characterizes the world movement LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) That are precisely the colors of the actual rainbow. The Rainbow Flag, also known as the LGBT flag, is the representation of the gay and lesbian community since the late 1970s. The flag was designed by artist Gilbert Baker and popularized in 1978. These pieces are part of Josignacio's extensive series of guitars called “Rainbow Guitars” and he did this show in support of the rights of equality and acceptance of those discriminated against in his native Island and bravely led precisely by Mariela Castro Espin, the daughter of Raúl Castro Ruz, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and the actual leader of Cuba. Mariela currently heads the Cuban National Center for Sex Education (CENESEX) proof that its government is showing their intentions in opening the human rights issues. The reason for the title "Seven Adagios for Sappho and Ganymede": Josignacio uses the musical term adagio because it is a musical piece whose tempo is slower, as well as slow has been the process of acceptance of LGBT movement and two characters, the real Sappho of Mytilene, also known as Sappho of Lesbos, a Greek poet who has historically been identified by many as the symbol of female homosexuality and the mythological Ganymede[70] who became the lover of the God Zeus.
