JORGE ALBERTELLA is a visual artist interested in the expansive nature of
mixed media. He uses steel, wood, paint and other elements to create emblematic
and geometrically-based work.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Mr. Albertella spent his early life studying
painting and drawing. As a young man, he traveled to New York and then Los
Angeles, where he received a PhD in Psychology from the University of Southern
California. After maintaining a successful practice, he then pursued a career in
theatre.
He also wrote eight published novels and several award-winning
plays.
He became known for his eclectic career, rigorous work schedule and a constant
pursuit and support of fine arts.
However he never abandoned his original love of painting, exhibiting his work in
Los Angeles while continuing his career
in other
fields.
He currently shows his work in Los Angeles, and his paintings are also exhibited
throughout the United States as well as internationally. His work is in the
permanent collection at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach,
California

HACER [b. 1976] is a Los Angeles-based American sculptor who designs and
builds monumental, bold, "origami-inspired" metal forms for public
installation.
Abandoned by teenage, Mexican-American gang member parents at birth; he grew up
in a series of gang-affiliated foster homes. Custody to a lifestyle of violence
and addiction, he learned to escape by folding origami animals.
During adolescence his foldings gave way to a fascination with graffiti and the
gang culture surrounding
it.
"In time, my escape escaped me. I became the lifestyle with one reach: death. In
its grasp I found Calder's massive, red-orange, Los Angeles sculpture "The Four
Arches". He/it gave me a new reach:
life."
Breaking from his birth name, "Gomez-Martinez", he choose the name "Hacer" which
means TO DO in Spanish and, reuniting with the multi-folded artform he learned
at age seven, emerged as a
sculptor.
With several public installations in the ground, Hacer's minimalist sculptures
that predominantly use animal forms to comment on the devastation caused by
societal ignorance and self-absorption, are fast -becoming emblematic. By
reducing the form to its essence, he retains the dynamic angles, plains and
shadows that attract him to the aesthetic while staying true to his Bauhaus
"form follows function" approach to life and
design.
