2013
About the Item
"Saudi" discusses man’s modern romance with the oil industry, technology, and capitalism. In his Oil series, Guzman intimates toward the crudeness of industrial domination of nature through the brash treatment of the paint.
Harif Guzman was born in Venezuela in 1975. However, after moving with his family to New York at the tender age of five, he has since come to call New York City his home. In his youth, Guzman worked for his father — a printer and typesetter — during which, he would come to obtain an appreciation for mechanical reproduction. With a burgeoning affection for typography, in conjunction with his experience growing up in New York City, Guzman would inspire an iconic style worthy of world class recognition. A constant world traveler, Guzman’s work has been exhibited in most continents across the globe.
Guzman’s work inhabits, and extends, a tradition established in the 1920s Weimar Republic. His work is characterized by extemporized collage and gritty multimedia assemblage reminiscent of Kurt Schwitters, Robert Rauschenburg, and Mike Kelley. Guzman’s work is a discussion on the process of change and transformation. The found materials he employs are not simply the physical components he works with, but also the second-hand imagery and ideas endemic to contemporary urban existence.

- "Untitled, " Acrylic and Paper Collage on CanvasLocated in Houston, TXThis work was one of Long’s earliest compositions as an artist. Even earlier in his artistic career, Long was interested in exploring the intersection of various media, branching out into new innovative spaces. This work demonstrates the technique and forms at play that have since germinated into Long’s signature style. Bert L. Long Jr., was self-taught artist, was born in 1940 in Texas, grew up the Houston’s historic Fifth Ward and received his formal education from UCLA. Following a career as a successful master chef, Long decided to devote himself entirely to art in the late 1970’s. He began to explore folk art and assemblage to create a unique body of work, attracting the attention of Jim Harithas, then Director of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, and artists John Alexander, Salvatore Scarpitta and James Surls. His life spanned an era of radical change in the American social climate, the influence of which can be seen clearly in his work. Long’s paintings and sculptures incorporate a high level of skill and sophisticated knowledge of art history, along with complex philosophical and social issues. Long describes the philosophy behind his work as "a quest to help people diagnose their inner self," believing his art to be "the vehicle to help facilitate the process." “As artists we have the obligation to provide the world with art which communicates as truth. I believe that art has the power to heal our souls of their afflictions. I try to create art which helps to diagnose the prevalent conditions within our societies, hopefully providing an insightfulness which will help us all become brothers and sisters united in equality and compassion” - Bert L. Long, Jr. The late Peter Marzio, former Director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, said of Bert Long during the major retrospective of Long’s work at the museum: “Bert Long does not avert his gaze from that which is painful, but as [his artworks] testify, he also brings a spirit of joy and redemption to his art. We can all learn from this great artist.” Over Long’s 33-year career as a painter, sculptor, and photographer, he had several solo exhibitions at respected museums and was awarded many significant awards including the National Endowment for the Arts Grant in 1987 and the prestigious international Prix de Rome fellowship in 1990. Other notable awards of Long’s include the Texas Accountants and Lawyers for the Arts Artist of the Year Award in 2009, the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Emergency Assistance Grant in 1997, the Houston Art League Texas Artist of the Year in 1990, the NEA Visual Artists Fellowship Grant, 1987 and the Bemis Foundation Residency in 1998. His work can be seen in over 100 private and public collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Houston Museum of Fine Art, the Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, the El Paso Museum of Art, and the Instituto de Bachillerato in Spain. With a recent solo exhibition at the Houston Museum of African American Culture and an exhibition overseas which is pending featuring his work, plus interest from several national museums, Bert L. Long Jr. continues to be recognized as an important African American artist throughout Texas, nationally and internationally. Bert L.
