Longing and whimsy, innocence and experience, irreverence and wit,

as well as a penchant for the purely zany, coexist in Banksy’s work. 

Will Ellsworth-Jones  (Smithsonian Magazine)

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-story-behind-banksy-4310304/ 

In October of 2013, Banksy became 'Artist in Residence' for the City of New York. An honor so prestigious, but he made it up and awarded it to himself! Banksy began a one-month “show on the streets of New York,” for which he opened a separate website and Twitter account. Each day of the month in October 2013, (barring those where “police activity” scuttled his plans), Banksy created works at random locations around the city — often in the form of satirical messages stenciled on walls. Banksy even provided an audio-guide available on a toll-free number for each work created, as if each of those works were part of a curated exhibit within a museum with audio-guides. Each piece drew hundreds of curious onlookers as it was discovered. 

Now, the question is, what ever happened to all that art? Almost all of it is gone. The majority were defaced by other graffiti artists within a few hours. The only pieces that survive are the ones that were immediately protected. 

While the value of Banksy’s pieces soars, a poignancy attends some of Banksy’s creative output. A number of his works exist only in memory, or photographs or coexist with other artists work.

“Brooklyn" is obviously an iconic representation of the battle to survive a broken heart. It’s an uplifting visual poem to that most fragile of human emotions that seem to move within us as if on a soft breeze,” an audio guide at banksy.co.uk explains.

Lulu Almiron Collection, New York


The red balloon, as the only spot of color, is an archetypal symbol of childhood and freedom many of us connect with. More than a simple child’s toy, it evokes fragility of what it stands for: innocence, dreams, hope and love. Girl with Balloon is one of Banksy’s many works that focus on the theme of childhood.

The artist utilizes the innocence and moral virtue associated with children to turn a mirror on society, foregrounding its faults and injustices.Banksy frequently combines images of childhood, and its closely connected notions of both purity and nostalgia, with somber and despondent themes of war, political division, and mass surveillance. In doing so, the tenderness of the child’s image evokes an increasingly powerful and provocative message. 

Viewers of Girl with Balloon cannot help but feel empathy for the young child’s loss. But, at the same time, her out-reached hand embodies a determined and admirable longing for something better. For this reason, the image has become a universal symbol of optimism.

When the work was graffitied on London’s Waterloo Bridge (later removed by the council), Banksy paired it with the phrase ‘There is always hope’. Because of this the work has come to represent both childhood innocence and the importance of maintaining hope, even in the darkest of times.

Dr. and Mrs. Sylvester Almiron Jr. Collection, New York 1983


    

Established by the Augustinians in 1587 in Narvacan, (a town where my parents come from), is the seat of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia, the Narvacan Church aka St. Lucy (Sta. Lucia) Parish Church. Natural calamities, fire and war destroyed parts of the stone church, but restorations, with the assistance of the United States War Damage Commission, the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia, and generous patrons, saved the facade’s overall look.



*The political and economic turmoil in the Philippines during the 80's resulted in shortage of art materials because all were imported. In response to the paper shortage, an artist/paper maker Louie Stuart from Tiaong, Quezon produced paper using cogon grass and other indigenous materials. Louie Stuart became the source of paper for the BGA.

Mixed Media Collage:

Digital photo collage, acrylic on canvas

Coined by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, the term ‘collage’ points towards a medium simultaneously serious and tongue-in-cheek; a technique that is deeply referential of the political world in which the works were produced. Via the assemblage of different objects and images, collage interrogates the fundamental concept of what it is to create art, while offering a prismatic reflection of the social change and political upheaval of 2020.


The Covid 19 Death Milestone Series were constructed using digital collages of newspaper covers,  magazines, and works by photo journalists as well as my own photographs. These works pioneer an art form bent on demonstrating that art itself could be collected from the everyday media clutter of modern life. This series  challenges the racist, anti immigrant, Covid deniers, and divisive political codes perpetuated in the 2020 Pandemic America. It is my hope that through art we create awareness of the important life and death issues during this American Plague. 

Covid 19 Death Milestone Series #6

‘A Flag for Vinnie’, 2021

(For two weeks starting last Sept. 17, 2021, white flags blanketed 20 acres along the National Mall marking more than 600,000 U.S. Covid deaths.)


Mixed Medium: Digital photo collage,

acrylic on canvas

24 x 30 x 1 inches

The U.S counted 600,000 Covid-19 deaths last June 4, 2021. This Death Milestone has been very personal to our family because of Andrew’s dad being one of the beautiful souls we lost, April 13, 2021. This marks the end of the Covid-19 Death Milestone Series.


There are 7 elements for the collage of the ‘600,000 Covid Death Milestone Series:

1. ‘San Diego Headstones’- BW photo by Ric Maniquis (Baguio Group of Artists- Photography)

2. Numerous Photo and Video screen shots of Maryland artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg’s “In America: Remember”, a public art installation that ran from September 17 through October 3, 2021 commemorating all Americans who have died due to COVID-19.

3. The Queensborough Bridge with Vinnie’s photo embedded on one of the bridge’s steel arches. This bridge Vinnie crossed from Manhattan to the family’s home in Queens through all of his working years.

4. NY Time’s Covid-19 Headline last September 17, 2021 (the opening of Firstenberg’s exhibit)

5. Purple Tulip – This tulip has become part of the Covid-19 Death Milestone Series where I experienced personal loss from Covid-19.

6. A Flag dedicated to Vinnie with a written message from Vina and Andrew.

7. April 13, 2021 death count (the day we lost Vinnie)

Feb. 21, 2021

Mixed Medium: Digital photo collage,

30 x 24 x 1 inches


For this fifth work’s title on the Covid 19 Death Milestone Series, I used Washington Posts’ February 21, 2021 article written by Artur Galocha and Bonnie Berkowitz, "500,000 Deaths by Covid-19 in the U.S. A number almost too large to Grasp"


Using acrylic paints, artistic rendering was done with 2 digital photographic collages:


1. Washington Posts’ February 21, 2021 headline news clips.


2. Artist’s rendering of Saul Loeb’s photograph (AFP-Getty Images) of President Biden accompanied by Vice President Harris holding a moment of silence and a candle-lighting ceremony at the White House for the 500,000 American covid-19 deaths.*


* This would only be the second memorial for the deaths from Covid-19 since the  start of the pandemic in 2019

Dec. 16, 2020

Mixed Medium: Digital photo collage, acrylic on canvas

40x30 inches


For this third work for the  Covid 19 Death Milestone Series, 

I used the homepage cover of a special collection of reports by NBC News dated Dec 11, 2020 “How America Gave Up and How we Fight Back” as a backdrop for the work.


Using acrylic paints, artistic rendering was done with 3 photographic collages:


1.NBC News Homepage Cover designed and development by Jiachuan Wu, Ellie Frymire and Robin Muccari*


2.Hannah McKay’s photo of a person kneeling down in front of the art installation 'IN AMERICA How Could This Happen...' by artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg on the DC Armory Parade Ground, in Washington D.C., U.S.


3.Headline “How Do We Grieve 300,000 Lives Lost?” from NPR Shots Health News dated December 14, 2020


Note:

*I lined out "How America Gave Up and How we Fight Back And how we fight back" and edited it as " How an American President Gave UP And How he did not fight back “ and added the number of US deaths for Dec. 16, 2020 (305, 287 K) in peach.

200,000 Deaths and Rising​, Sept.21, 2020

(An American President's Failure)

Mixed Medium: Digital photo collage, acrylic on canvas

40 x 30 x 1 inches

For this second work for the Covid 19 Death Milestone Series, I used the cover page of TIME Magazine’s September 21, 2020 issue. Just like the NY Time's front page in my first series, the cover page of TIME was my canvas. 


Using acrylic paints, artistic rendering was done with 3 photo collages:

1. George Steinmetz, a photojournalist with a 35-year career shooting for National Geographic and The New York Times Magazine, was confronted by police while photographing Hart Island, a strip of land near The Bronx that has been the city's potter's field since the 1700s. The National Press Photographers Association told the news outlet it was aware of one other drone confiscation at Hart Island since the pandemic began. NYPD officers reportedly took Steinmetz's $1,500 drone and charged him with violating a city law that prohibits drones from taking off from locations other than an airport. 


2.Artist’s photograph of an Opera Singer, singing Puccini’s Aria “Nessum Dorma”


3.Artist’s photograph of a field of purple and white tulips.


Note:  

I lined out "AN AMERICAN FAILURE" and edited it as "AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT'S FAILURE" and added the number of US deaths for Sept. 21, 2020 (200,686 K) in lavender.

For this first work for the  Covid 19 Death Milestone Series , I used the May 24, 2020 front page of the New York Times as my canvas.​ (NYT front page that day was an obituary with 1000 names representing almost 100,000 deaths). 


Using acrylic paints, artistic rendering was done with 3 photo collages:


1. AP photojournalist John Minchillo, captured aerial picture  of workers wearing personal protective equipment burying bodies in a mass grave trench on Hart Island, April 9, 2020 in the Bronx borough of New York City before police confiscated his drone.


2. Artist’s photograph of an Opera Singer, singing Puccini’s Aria “Nessum Dorma”


3. Artist’s photograph of a field of purple and white tulips.

 Sunrise/Sunset - Moonrise /Moonset by the Dead Sea

Dawn and moonset, dusk and sunset are two mesmerizing paintings of the same concept, dawning of the moon and sinking into the skyline of Jordan every day. Sunsets over the Dead Sea are uniquely spectacular; the sinking rays of sun create a spectrum of colors shooting across the wintery bluish-gray sky over the Dead Sea, each time forming a different arrangement of dreamy colors.
