Two articles picked up yesterday! Both on Julio
Jul 4th, 2008 by admin
I made artist Julio Aguilera happy yesterday. No, not that way sicko. I was able to get two articles on him picked up. Right now, he has two large projects in the works.
The first project involves cigars. Julio has partnered with De La Concha, Prometheus and Feunte to sculpt a God of Fire statue based on the Prometheus legend. The sculpture will be auctioned at charity events in Los Angeles and New York this fall. Many thanks to art patron Nik Renieris for making this project possible.
The second is (NSFW). It celebrates the centennial of "Ladies of Avignon" by Pablo Picasso. One hundred years ago, Picasso used the day's prevailing sexual entertainers: prostitutes. For a new century, Aguilera decided that a refreshed look at the sexual entertainer should be taken. So, he is using porn stars. Well, his first public exhibition will be held on August 2, 2008 in Philadelphia.
Both articles ran photos of Julio, though Cigar Report ran two: the one shown here and another of the artist with his masterpiece.
