james harper fine arts gallery proudly presents IVALDO
Ivaldo Robles was raised in Mexico were his passion for art began. He started as a natural artist using many different materials, applying new textures and experimenting with various techniques while learning and evolving into his own unique style that has elevated his work to a whole new plateau.
Ivaldo works with oil and mixed-media elements to express different textures combined with movements and layers that create windows of colorful dimensions. In the process Ivaldo sculpts and moves around the canvas searching for himself in deep moments of inspiration where painting becomes an adrenaline-fueled event of skill and dexterity, From there, the piece progresses along with his soul through the unknown moments that are fed by internal visualization, passion, and free flowing emotions.
His works on glass and frame are created by similar processes. By working on both sides of the glass, the strength and position of the light creates an additional dimension to the piece by creating shadows on the canvas behind it.. Each painting is an exploration of its own materiality and the result is a unique piece that creates a sense of wonder. Ivaldo feels that this approach puts attention on the process and culture of art itself as a natural project of the subconscious extracting the great convolutions of life.
Ivaldo's work is collected internationally and can be seen in various galleries and spaces around Florida and he has graced the cover of Orlando Arts Magazine.His work is in the permanent collection of the Amway Center in Orlando, He was also commissioned to create a painting for the Mayor of Orlando which is in his private suite in the Amway Center. His goals are to provide for his family and loved ones and to use his work to help others with positive life purposes. reception on Friday, May 11th, 7 -10pm exhibition runs through June 9th free & open to the public

Archaeology Month
A Tour into Florida’s Past
Saturday, March 24, 2012
We begin at Mala Compra Plantation where Brent
Handley, Professional Archaeologist who worked on the site, will lead us
through its fascinating history of as we view the ruins. In operation from 1816
until burned in 1836 during the Second Seminole War it was owned by Joseph
Martin Hernandez, Florida's first Delegate to the U.S. Congress and the first
Hispanic to serve. The physical remnants of the main house, well, and kitchen
provide rare structural evidence of coastal plantation layout and residential
construction in Florida during the early 19th century.
Then it’s on to St. Augustine where
we have a guided tour of the Dow Museum made up of nine historic homes, dating from 1790 to 1910, as
well as the rich collection of architecture, architectural ornaments, antiques,
and fine art on display. The property combines interactive experiences,
exhibitions and objects to tell the story of St Augustine and Florida’s
historical and cultural development. Learn about the lives of the original
occupants placed in context within the greater story of Florida from the
Colonial to the Territorial Period and from Statehood to the Flagler Era.
Next we head to St.
Augustine Lighthouse where we have lunch and begin our Behind
the Scenes Tour. View shipwreck artifacts and
parts of the historic light station not available with general admission,
including stops in the conservation lab and Lighthouse
Archaeological Maritime Program office. Look at artifacts from the American
Revolution recently recovered from the ocean floor and learn about the
processes use to recover and conserve these items. Even if you have visited the
lighthouse before, you will discover how the museum works and how we
are learning about our past from artifacts buried in the seafloor.
Motor coach transportation, lunch, all admissions included.
Walking throughout the day, including on uneven
surfaces will be necessary.

Ormond Bridge Puzzle
Click to Enlarge
Have you…
- Ever
tried to solve a puzzle so big that spans a river?
- Ever
wanted to create and take home a piece of art?
- Ever
wanted to learn a bit of Ormond Beach’s history from INSIDE its historical
buildings?
- Ever
wanted to get some exercise with several thousand of your neighbors?
The Ormond Bridge Puzzle is a unique annual event with the
ambitious goal of stimulating the minds, improving the health, and stoking the
creative embers of ALL who live in or near our community.
Seabreeze High School AP Chemistry teacher and local author
Robert Hernandez has created a Puzzle for Ormond’s residents to solve. The
clues are spread throughout the corners of the Granada Bridge. Finding them is
just the beginning. Puzzlers will have to assemble them correctly and decipher
their secrets. To do so, they will need to walk the Granada Bridge, meander in
and out of some of Ormond Beach’s historical sites, and create a piece of art.
If successful, Puzzlers will go home with the satisfaction of being clever
enough to have mastered the challenge. They will also have a better, more
intimate understanding of Ormond’s history; and they’ll be holding a piece of
art they created themselves.
The event begins promptly at 9:00AM, Saturday February 18,
2012 at the Casements’ Stage in Rockefeller Gardens, and runs until noon. It is
free to the public… Anyone with an imagination, a sense of adventure, and who
is fit enough to walk a bit over two
miles is welcomed and invited to participate.
Are you up for the challenge? Be there promptly at 9AM.
*Produced in conjunction with Robert Hernandez Seabreeze
High School, Ormond MainStreet, Inc., Ormond Beach Leisure Services and the
Ormond Beach Historical Society
