Kids, save up. Borrow. Barter. Make this part of your hard assets.
Take a look at the New York installation of his six-foot blue fin tuna sculpture, titled "The Grand Catch", which he crafted from granite in Fuzhou City in the Fujian Province of China, one would think the acclaimed artist might be ready to rest on his laurels for a bit: Daddy likes to work, he announced his "2009 Fall Tour - Europe."
Get your passport: Hoyes will be packing his mystical, African-influenced art creations and heading overseas to Amsterdam and Germany exhibiting at three distinctive galleries.
FOR THE BEST FRIES AND MUSSELS, IN THE WORLD. GO TO AMSTERDAM
Hoyes' work will open at the Royal Gallery in Amsterdam in the Netherlands August 1 and run through August 30, 2009.
GET READY FOR BEER, CHEESE AND TONS OF MEAT
Eat fast and then run to Das Leben Geht Weiter (Life Goes On) Gallery in Cologne, Germany from September 5 through September 30.
NOW BACK FOR THE FRIES AND MUSSLES (wink)! I think you can "smoke" stuff there but it might just be a rumor!
Hoyes will return to Amsterdam October 4 through December 30, 2009 at the Art Vine Gallery, closing out a stellar year.
BACKGROUND TO REVIEW BEFORE YOU BUY!
A cultural icon in his home of Los Angeles, Hoyes' work has remained relevant over the decades in large part due to his ability to capture the essence of spirit on canvas. Hoyes invokes the spirit of his African ancestry within his compositions. His luminous selection of colors in oils convey unspoken passions that literally tap the soul, invade one's persona and evoke volcanic emotion.
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, he demonstrated artistic abilities early on. When he was trotted off to live with a great aunt in rural Jamaica, his exposure to revival cults, ceremonies and rituals planted seeds deep within that would manifest as art in his later years.
Hoyes's formal art studies began at Junior Art Centre at the Institute of Jamaica.
At age 15 he left Jamaica for New York City. His art studies continued at the Art Students League and Vermont Academy. A heady combination of his drive to excel at art and the influence of the civil rights movement placed Hoyes at the helm of propelling the Academy to institute social and cultural programs. Upon graduation he was the first recipient of the Frederick Stanley Art Award and saw the launching of the school's first formal arts department.
LISTEN up .... Oprah Winfrey, Natalie Cole, Steve Harvey, Keenan Ivory Wayans and the National Urban League are among his collectors
"After spending some time in China earlier this year, I am overjoyed to be traveling yet again so soon to Europe.” expresses Hoyes.
