Marbella, Spain to Ginza, Japan - Karen Deicas DePodesta makes the cut for IzzyCue Art Group!

IzzyCue installs Karen Deicas DePodesta for its private neo-pop art portfolio group.

WASHINGTON, DC. (PRWEB) September 18, 2003 -- IzzyCue, the venerable lifestyle brand, retains Karen Deicas to paint for its private art portfolio.

The IzzyCue Art group will be characterized by a vivid collective of original new works by emerging artist with dignified rare talent. IzzyCue Art is readying itself to become a non-conventional high-culture reference for pop and neo-pop paintings.

According to the companys founder, Kenneth H. Tan, each artist selected to participate in our installation will be hand-picked for their exceptional talent in enunciating abstraction while providing clear narrative concurrently."

The artist must have demonstrated versatility in creative works, and be able to capture and invoke drama in an otherwise prosaic world. In addition, we actively seek out artists with compassion and a fervent zeal toward people and places," Kenneth explains further.

Karen Deicas DePodesta, a Mexican-born artist, has established herself as a bright influential international artist. Her work is created instinctually with the belief that it will be received instinctually as well. She describes her creative process as abandoning easily recognizable imagery for the sake of expression and exploration." She values emotion and reason," along with a juxtaposition of chaos and order." These relationships emerge from her thick brush strokes that ensure a visceral experience of the work. Within her thickly painted constructions of space is a modeling of light that lends her expressionism a dimension of realism. This approach to modeling space runs throughout her non-objective paintings as well. Even when working within complete abstraction her shapes and spaces maintain a subtle luminosity.

She has been invited to show her work in galleries, museums and fine art fairs around the world. Her past shows include: International Contemporary Art Fair (Marbella, Spain), Mezzanine (San Francisco, CA), 2nd International Female Artist Exhibition (Stockholm, Sweden), International Art Promotion Gallery Solo Show (Barcelona, Spain), Kris Keyes Union Station (San Francisco, CA), Insight Artists Gallery (Norfolk, UK), International dart Miniature (Quebec, Canada), II International Art Festival in Ginza (Tokyo, Japan), Lankershim Art Gallery (North Hollywood, CA), Agora Gallery (SOHO, NY), more.

Karens book and magazine publications include: Dizionario Enciclopedico Internazionale dArte Moderna e Contemporanea, ITALY (2003-2004), New Art International, US (2003-2004), Art of the Americas, Latin American Art Directory (2003), World Best 100 Contemporary Artists, Stockholm, SWEDEN (2003), Living Artists, 13th ed., US (2003), Art International 2002, Zurich, SWITZERLAND (2002), World of Art, Issue 5 Vol. 2 (2002) and ArtFolio, Juried Yearly, US (2001).

Her career is marked with accolades. In addition to her Best New Artist" award at the International Art Symposium, Karen has been the Directors Choice" and received notable acclaim in a short period of time. Karen presently resides in San Francisco, California.
