The Shard, London, UK, July 10, 2017 - high up on the 24th floor of the glass skyscraper near London Bridge, the new portrait of Cristiano Ronaldo by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley, 'strides' across the city skyline, just prior to a business launch evening, to which the artist was invited.
Top right of the edge of the painting, the spectacular view includes the Tower of London - for which Stephen B. Whatley was commissioned to create a series of 30 paintings in 2000 - all of which are reproduced as a permanent vibrant art exhibit throughout Tower Hill Underpass that leads pedestrians from Tower Hill Station to the Tower of London.

* one of some 200 drawings from a set titled "resistance" dealing with the resistance and later submission of the plight of the oppressed indigenous peoples in Central America; at that time called "Banana Republics" Some of you have asked to see some of my earlier works which are on transparencies and would have to be scanned. Should there be enough interest, I shall post the set.
Thank you!
*do not bother looking him up, for he never showed his work; his art was "diletant" as per my mother; he used to frequent my parents studio and spoke to my mother in Czech, a dreadful sounding language; spend his last years at the clinica San Fernando, Panama's institution for the feeble minded. The only place where some of his best works are displayed in their lobby. Why on earth I paint some o these people, God only knows.
*yellow jacket or "Huan-ma-gua", a jacket worn at special ceremonies over the traditional Guayabera by Maoist or Leninist "enlighteners" /teachers/ in Central America in the mid sixty's.

* The above explores the horror to come from those that live presently "underground" in Germany, arming themselves, plotting, spreading their lies and venom with a vengeance not seen since the days of Hitler. They are none other than the "Rote Armee" led by Major Horst Mahler of the "Zweite Steinzeit" transl. "The second stone age" They number in the tens of thousands but have several million sympathizers world wide.

*from my notes on incident as recorded in the daily activity report, Prague, Gestapo file, 30,september,1942: "Curda der jezt Jerhot heist, ubergibt Gabcik's enthaupten Kopf unserem chef Hans Geschke." "Der Kopf wurde spater Karl Hans in einer Flasche Alcohol ubergaben"

p.s. on a note of interest, the severed head, after the war, found it,s way to Latin America, where it was sold to an American archeology collector in 1948

*privately owned and posted with permission of owner. This painting has been posted some month back at which time it was photographed with a different camera and for some reason, perhaps because of lighting the colors were distorted. This was brought to my attention by another artist, Teag Mcgilligary who commented on it. Comparing the two postings there is a wast difference, hence my posting of the more recent photograph send to me by owners before framing.
I am calling this interesting discovery to the attention to artist's using digital cameras that the lighting of art work plays an important role in the recording of one's artworks.
p.s. this painting is best viewed on black, thank you!
*The above,"the fisherman" from my set:"Las Sirenas de Baru" In Colombian folklore where beautiful green eyed, bird-women, portrayed as seductresses who lure nearby fishermen with their enchanting dance to the rhythm of cumbias to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island with promises of passion, only to rob them of their souls which they place in nests to feed their own offspring resulting from their mating with the dead fishermens ghosts.
Scenes of the plight of these fishermen is described by Jorge Luis Borges in his "Hydriothapia" , where Borges discusses man's struggles with mortality, and the uncertainty of his fate and fame in this world and the next, to produce an extended funerary meditation tinged with melancholia. The changes wrought by time and eternity, the fleetingness of mortal fame, and our feeble attempts to cope with the certainty of death. At the same time, Borges can be tersely witty, mocking human vainglory.
"Las Sirenas de Baru" compositions are made entirely of feathers, dried body parts of animal skin and decomposed plant life found on my hikes to a nearby preserve near my home some years ago. presently the items have been further degraded to a mulch like composite having left them in a lidded trash can over a extended period of time. Thoroughly hosed and cleansed they have been lovingly arranged to create these "Natural" sculptures.
