Alberto Thirion Gallery
Amantes
La Catedral De La Tierra
This article is an update from the original article.
In my film for TV business I’ve met some creative people like Alberto Thirion of Durango, Mexico. Actually, I meet creative people every time I go out to film. Since I concentrate my filming efforts on preserving events that will soon become past events I often meet people that re-enact history. Many times I film stories that have been put to music and dance. An example would be our own Latin Ballet of Virginia performing Dias de Muertos, Day of the Dead. What I’ve personally experienced is a new found interest in learning about new cultures, the people and their interest in preserving their heritage.
I am tickled to announce our new gallery, the Alberto Thirion Gallery. We are working on an article to appear during the Christmas Holiday since my friend, Alberto, is a painter of religious art. I find that Alberto’s paintings remind me of a past American painter, Grandma Moses. Many of you may remember Grandma Moses and her unique style of painting. In her style it was easy to know what her paintings were about. Who said that art had to be complicated to convey a message or a feeling?
I am not an art critic because I write about art in this particular article. However, I am a friend of artists and will at times convey/display their creative endeavors on this site. Originally I had written that Alberto’s art not only reminded me of Grandma Moses, but of another character in his style. I will not mention this other character style, but I will say that the viewing and memory of a particular painting does not seem to want to leave my mind. It has been at least three nights before bedtime that this painting is pictured in my mind’s eye. La Catedral De La Tierra is this painting and it is pictured above. When I wrote the original article a few days ago I had inserted three of his paintings. Today I have taken two of the paintings out of the gallery so you can concentrate on Alberto’s painting, La Catedral De La Tierra. Alberto Thirion’s paintings will begin to appear in this gallery and will be updated on a regular basis until the Holidays.
One might wonder how some of the photography or paintings on this site refer to rock and roll. Well, in reality some of them don’t, but since James and I capture history in the making we are constantly exposed to new artists, music or not, working in mediums that we are not normally exposed to. In music it could be instruments that we have never seen or heard. As photographers of historical events we aim to display those people that we come across who are involved in politics, music, dance, culture, art and history.
