“A PRIVATE VIEW” BY JULIA MARTINEZ at The Red Pegunin Art Gallery

On August 16th from 7-9, the Red Penguin Art Gallery is presenting Julia Martinez’s special series of photographs “A Private View” for the first time in Spain.

Julia Martinez is a British photographer, specialising in portraiture, including fine art nude work. Her interest in photography started out in childhood, with the best possible training, helping in the darkroom alongside her Grandfather, a professional photographer, where she was excited by the “magic” of the process, a response evident in her work.

Arboretum Marbella Offers World-Class Permaculture Course

Arboretum Marbella is an environmental project which has been operating on the Costa del Sol for two years and held the first Permaculture Design Course in the area in 2012. This course will be held again in October and is an internationally recognised qualification which in the words of Director Alejandro César Orioli, “is one of the most effective ways to face the current financial crisis and build a sustainable future through education, enabling and taking action.”

Permaculture is a holistic system which deals with the design, planning and construction of spaces where people can relate to nature in an ecologically sustainable way, but which is socially beneficial and economically viable.

By applying different techniques into the various components of a system you can make all the elements work to their best ability, reduce energy use and get the best returns in a sustainable way. Techniques can be applied to the construction of homes and buildings, food production, energy use, water use etc. to make them more sustainable and productive.

18th of JULY “HIGH TEA” WITH JOSEPH KLIBANSKY

Dreams of Eden

The Red Penguin Art Gallery is proud to invite you to a “Meet and greet” with new media artist Joseph Klibansky on 18th July from 18.00-20.00, during which time he will be introducing his latest masterpieces which have just been launched at the famous ART BASEL/MIAMI and will be displayed at the gallery from 17th.

Klibanksy’s work features as part of the current Beautiful & the Best exhibition with stunning artworks from MARC LAGRANGE, Isabell Beyel, Karel Appel, Corneille, Lita Cabellut, Walasse Ting and Cats&Withoos, so this is a great opportunity to meet the artist and enjoy the works.

Klibansky’s main inspirations are architecture and the city, particularly the accelerated, compressed and densely populated urban environments of the 21st Century that he smoothly alters into a futurist landscape of the imagination. In “Violet Skies” and “Dreams of Eden”, Joseph will show us another vision of two of his dream cities: New York and Paris.
