Luis Selem Art

b. 1975

Luis Selem studied architecture at La Salle University and visual arts with a specialty in plastic arts at the Autonomous University of Querétaro.

Selem has participated in more than 50 group exhibitions and several individual exhibitions in important cultural spaces in Mexico and the United States, as well as in important contemporary art fairs at an international level.

Selem says: “My work is based on experiences lived in my childhood, connecting with that scared child, scared not because of the change, but because of the concern that his most precious objects would suffer some damage during while being moved, hence my desire to wrap to preserve what is most loved ..."

In Selem's work, observation is not enough; there is something else that is behind what we see and that causes the work to be different for each person that looks at it. Concealment makes them sacred, gives them value that they would lose if we saw them as they are. The action of wrapping objects accentuates them, makes them more corporeal.

Alfredo Ginocchio Gallery has represented Selem for years and has promoted his work at various international art fairs in Latin America and the United States.

Love in a cup (Stick Figure Art, Heart, Love, Playful, Warm, Heartfelt)
Located in Kansas City, MO
Wilhelm Schlote Love in a cup Giclee on hand made cotton paper Year: 2015 Signed by hand Size: 11.4 × 10.6 on 15.0 × 12.0 inches COA provided Ref.: 924802-899 ---------------------------------- Wilhelm Schlote (born March 4, 1946 in Lüdenscheid) is a German artist, children's book author, cartoonist and caricaturist. Schlote grew up in Essen. His first art teacher was Heinz Mack (member of the artist group ZERO), who recognized Wilhelm Schlote's talent for drawing early on. His mentor and friend Albert Schulze-Vellinghausen, who, as a literary critic for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), was the predecessor of Marcel Reich-Ranicki, was just as philosophically influential. After graduating from high school, Schlote studied philosophy in Bonn until 1968 and then art at the Kunsthochschule Kassel until 1972. From 1973 to 1978 he was a teacher in higher education in Kassel and Hamburg. Simultaneously with the decision to go to Paris, Schlote was offered a professorship at a German art college. In 1978, however, Schlote decided to move to France, where he lived partly in Nice, but mainly in Paris. In 1980 he exhibited for the first time in the Medical Faculty of St. Germain des Pres in Paris. Since 2011 Wilhelm Schlote lives and works in Cologne, Germany. In 1968 Schlote published the first of a total of 35 children's books. Starting in 1976 he published cartoon postcards - the so-called "Schlote-Karten" - and in the same year received the German Youth Book Prize for “I wish for a hippopotamus today”. In 1991 he was awarded by the "Académie Calvet"; the award was presented to him by Catherine Deneuve and Claude Chabrol. Schlote's cartoons and drawings have appeared in magazines such as Die Zeit, Die Welt, The New Yorker, Le Monde and Le Figaro. He creates his city posters...
