Josignacio (b. José Ignacio Sánchez-Rius, in Havana, Cuba, on October 24, 1963) is a Contemporary Cuban Artist, who first emerged in the controversial, "La Generacion de los 80s"[1][2][3][4][5] - The 80s Generation of Contemporary Cuban Art [6] also referred to as New Cuban Art.
This new Cuban plastic arts movement, with an expression of conceptual and non specific conscience manifestation, addressed many burning issues of the time and unveiled what these artists felt was the true reality of Cuba. It was more than a moment of artistic inspiration; it was a reflection of critical self-awareness and the new social role of art - the fundamental essence of the movement.[citation needed]
This highly cultural decade in Cuba contrasted a country in transition, whose revelations created one of the most fertile and consecrated artistic decades in its history. The artists who received the most notoriety of this era, both at home and abroad, began their collaboration with the breakthrough of “Volume 1" [7] - a commitment to non government mandated artistic expression. They included Rubén Torres Llorca, José Bedia Valdés, Ricardo Rodriguez Brey, Juan Francisco Elso, Rogelio López Marín (Gory), Gustavo Pérez Monzón,[8] José Manuel Fors, Leandro Soto Ortiz, Israel León, Tomás Sánchez and Carlos Alfonzo.[9]
In the second half of the decade, other artistic groups were formed, including 4 x 4, Grupo Hexágono, Arte Calle, Grupo Provisional, the duet René Francisco Rodríguez and Eduardo Ponjuán González [10] and ABTV. Grupo Puré, another new wave of young artists, graduates of the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA)[11] included Ana Albertina Delgado Álvarez, Adriano Buergo, Ciro Quintana,[12] Ermi Taño and Lázaro Saavedra, all greatly influenced by the German Kitsch art movement.
Additionally, a large number of talented creators excelled independently, such as Florencio Gelabert (sculptor),[citation needed] Humberto Castro, Gustavo Acosta,[13] Kcho, Antonio Eligio Fernandez (Tonel), Adriano Buergo, Flavio Garciandía,[citation needed] Tania Bruguera, Juan Francisco Elso, Carlos Rodríguez Cárdenas, Quisqueya Henríquez, Glexis Novoa,[14] José Toirac, Carlos García, Heriberto Mora, Segundo Planes[15] and Pedro Vizcaíno, among others.
In 1984, Josignacio created his revolutionary Plastic Paint Medium - a unique techno pictorial medium, by mixing epoxy resins with oil colors and other pigments, resulting in a hard, shiny, 3D finish, his identifiable signature style.[16]
Receiving numerous awards since his earliest displayed artwork as a teenager in 1979, Josignacio's work was then formally exhibited from 1987 - 1989 in eighteen galleries in Havana, Cuba. In 1996, Josignacio was awarded Best in Show at the oldest and most prestigious juried art show in Florida, Hortt 38. He then began his noted USA exhibitions in Palm Beach, Florida. Through 2017, twenty-eight exhibitions followed in the USA and Cuba, including themes paying homage to Cuba's national hero, Jose Marti; China, its popular culture, folklore and the Chinese zodiac; the Cuban National Ballet; and the LGBTQ movement.
Josignacio's international rankings have included appearing twice on the Artprice Top 500 Contemporary Artist's list - ranking #116 in 2015[17] and #219 in 2016, respectively.[18]
Josignacio is most widely recognized as a neo-figurative and abstract artist.
Early life[]
As a child, a number of well known Cuban artists were family friends. They included Roberto Fabelo, René Portocarrero, Amelia Peláez, Felipe López, Mariano Rodriguez, Jose Luis "El Gallego" Posada and Gilberto Marino. Several of them gave Josignacio art lessons.
In 1983, he passed the admissions test at the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA). Before attending, however, Josignacio shaved his head. When he came to school to begin his studies, the Dean banned him from attending school, as well as from the premises altogether, because they interpreted his head being shaved as a protest against the government.
In 1984, he was commissioned to work as a painting assistant to Martinez Anay and Andres Ugalde to paint a large mural for the Sociedad de Educación Patriótico-Militar (SEPMI)[19](the Military Patriotic Educational Society), the Cuban version of the Boy Scouts. This director of the agency was Cuban Cosmonaut Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez. It was during this assignment, that Josignacio discovered that by mixing epoxy resins with oil colors and other pigments, the result would be a hard, shiny, 3D finish. This new medium took him two more years to fully develop and master. He named his new technique, the Plastic Paint Medium.
Josignacio's first personal exhibition was on March 2, 1987, at the Artistic and Literary Lyceum in Regla, Cuba, a municipality of Havana. This was the first time in international history, a complete exhibition of paintings was made using only the Plastic Paint Medium.
In 1988, Josignacio, a member of the "Asociación Hermanos Saíz",[20] was commissioned by their directives to design a float for the Havana Carnival 1988.[21] As soon as he finished the design, he presented it to the commission. They cancelled his participation arguing that they needed to give the float design to another Cuban painter, Manuel Mendive. The reason was that in Miami, one of Mendive's paintings titled El Pavo Real had been burned [22] by an anti-Castro militant, a member of the Bay of Pigs Brigade 2506, and it was necessary to give the Cuban Revolution's support to the victim artist. Nonetheless, Josignacio's artwork was ultimately displayed at more than twenty exhibitions in Havana, Cuba. He was then invited to exhibit his work in Mexico City, Mexico.
On May 10, 1989, with no explanation, all of Josignacio's planned shows at Auditorio Nacional, (National Auditorium), and Los Talleres de Coyoacán,[23] Mexico City were cancelled by orders of the Cuban embassy in Mexico City.
After this turning point, Josignacio made the decision to leave his motherland and move to Miami, Florida. Josignacio is an American citizen.
Influences[]
After 1960, Cuban abstract art[24] was scarce or considerably silenced.[25] The artists of that era were mostly influenced by the Cubism movement, which was not of great interest to Josignacio. Two groups, however, that formed in the late 1950s, that Josignacio did study, were Los Once,[citation needed] (The Eleven), and Los Diez Pintores Concretos [es], (The Ten Concrete Painters).
Los Once, (The Eleven), had prominent trends stemming from Informalism or Art Informel and concrete abstraction. The most outstanding figures of this abstract current, named after the initial eleven participants were: Guido Llinás, Hugo Consuegra, René Salusitano Ávila Valdéz [es], Antonio Vidal Fernández, Viredo Espinosa, Fayad Jamfs, Tomás Oliva, Agustfn Cárdenas, José Antonio Díaz Peláez [es], Francisco Antigua and José Ignacio Bermúdez Vázquez [es].
Los Diez Pintores Concretos [es], (Ten Concrete Painters), was a more radical group devoted to geometric abstraction, initially formed in Havana in 1958. These artists briefly called themselves Los Diez Pintores Concretos, the 10 Concrete Painters, or, simply, Los Diez, The 10. Formalizing in 1959, The 10 had their inaugural exhibition, “10 Concrete Painters Exhibit Paintings and Drawings,” on the second anniversary of the Galería Color-Luz (Color-Light), a space managed by co-founders Dolores Soldevilla Nieto, her partner Pedro de Oraá and other artists, to promote abstract art in Havana. It was integrated by Pedro Carmelo Alvarez López, Mario Carreño Morales, Wilfredo Arcay Ochandarena, Salvador Corratgé, Sandú Darié Laver [es], Luis Martínez Pedro, Alberto Menocal, José Mijares, Pedro de Oraá, José Ángel Rosabal Fajardo, Dolores Soldevilla Nieto and Rafael Soriano. Formally, their collective had a short life, 1959–61, and only showed together as a group three times.
The group coalesced around Galería Color-Luz, which was started just after Ms. Soldevilla returned from several years in Paris as Cuba's cultural attaché. Her partner in the effort, Pedro de Oraá, an artist, poet and art critic, born in 1931, wrote a short history of the group.[26]
Josignacio was influenced by the abstract expressionists of the New York School (art), especially Jackson Pollock, from whom he originally saw the use of dripping and pouring paint onto canvases. However, instead of alkyd enamels that Pollack used, Josignacio used his invented Plastic Paint Medium technique of mixing epoxy resins with oil colors and other pigments. Dutch painter Karel Appel's faces[27] and Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky's mix of colors [28] were also special focuses. From Dutch-American Willem de Kooning,[29] Josignacio learned the centered figure compositions[30]
Josignacio's color palette includes an extensive spectrum, but greens mixed abstractly with bright reds and blacks have been his personal seal. This was often noted by his older painting colleagues, René Portocarrero, José Gómez Fresquet and Raúl Martínez (artist) who encouraged Josignacio and pushed him to keep on his abstract track.
Social causes and charity work[]
Josignacio has made many contributions to social causes by donating his artworks. Since 1996, Josignacio has been a fundraiser for the Miami Children's Hospital. He has also worked on behalf of earthquake victims and hurricane victims. In 2017, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of his painting Smooth Guitar was donated to aid those affected by Hurricane Irma.[31]

On November 25, 2011, Josignacio unveiled an 8 foot x 12 foot mural titled Tree of Life in Asbury Park, New Jersey. This original triptych consists of three consecutive paintings, representing a convergence of the past, present and future, to create an image of humanity. Tree of Life, then valued at $180,000.00 USD and dedicated to the children of Asbury Park, was commissioned by The Caring Canvas, a premier traveling art gallery. Tree of Life is permanently located at the Asbury Park Transportation Center on Main Street in Asbury Park, New Jersey.[33]
In 2017, La Casa de Artes y Tradiciones Chinas (House of Arts and Chinese Traditions)[34] Havana, Cuba, acquired Josignacio's artwork titled Fénix 105.5 x 55 inches, Plastic Paint Medium on wood, for public display in its permanent collection.

The opening words of the exhibition were given by Mr. Chen Xi [66], the new Ambassador of the People's Republic of China and ethnologist and author, Dr. Natalia Bolívar. Cuban government representatives were also present at the opening. The key artwork of this exhibition, Fenix, a part of Josignacio's "Signs Series," was acquired by Casa de las Artes y Tradiciones Chinas (House of Arts and Chinese Traditions), Havana, Cuba, for public display in its permanent collection.

- 2017 – "Siete Adagios para Safo y Ganimedes" ("Seven Adagios for Sappho and Ganymede")[65] Despite the controversy of homosexuality's delicate theme in communist Cuba, a collection of Josignacio's seven neo-figurative large format Guitars, curated by journalist and writer, Yoel Almaguer de Armas and Lic. in Art History, Diana Rosa Crespo, was exhibited in the Karl Marx Theatre. Along with Josignacio's signature forms and colors, the selection was specifically chosen to represent the seven colors of the rainbow, symbolic of the colors of the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) flag, which characterizes the world LGBTQ movement. The Rainbow Flag, also known as the LGBTQ flag, has represented gay and lesbian communities since the late 1970s. The flag was designed by artist Gilbert Baker and popularized in 1978. These artworks are part of Josignacio's extensive series of Guitars called “Rainbow Guitars.” He did this exhibition in support of equal rights and the acceptance of those discriminated against in his native homeland. Bravely led by Mariela Castro Espin, the daughter of Raúl Modesto Castro Ruz, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and the actual leader of Cuba, Mariela currently heads the Cuban National Center for Sex Education (CENESEX), proof of the Cuban government's intention to open up human rights issues. The reason for Josignacio's exhibition title "Seven Adagios for Sappho and Ganymede" is that the musical term adagio indicates that music is to be played slowly, reminding us of the same slow process of LGBTQ acceptance and its two primary characters. The real Sappho of Mytilene, also known as Sappho of Lesbos, was a Greek poet who has historically been identified by many as the symbol of female homosexuality. The mythological Ganymede became the lover of the God Zeus.
- 2017 - "China a Puro Color" (“China Pure Color”[66] at Expo Cuba 2017 (Arts Pavilion). This exhibition showcased Josignacio's eight big format abstract paintings depicting the typical colors of China's culture and folklore to celebrate the 170th anniversary of the presence of the Chinese people in Cuba. It was organized by Ministerio de Cultura de la República de Cuba[67] (Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China, Oficina del Historiador de la Habana, and Instituto Cubano de Amistad con los Pueblos ICAP).[68]
- 2017 - “Punto y Línea sobre el plano” a group art exhibition in Fábrica de Arte Cubano (FAC)[69] including Antoine Mena, Donis Llago, Gabriel Sanches Toledo, Jorge Gody, Josignacio, Nelson Villalobo Ferrer, Onay Rosquet, Osy Milián, Víctor M.
