Following graduations from City College of New York and the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) he taught at FIT, Miami Dade College of Fine Arts, Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandizing. Throughout his career Juan -Manuel, has been associated with major design houses such as Tiffany & co, Nino Cerruti, Willi Wear, and Willi Smith. He plucks ideas like fields of wild flowers from North Africa to the thrift shops of the west coast. Juan - Manuel arranges figures and objects the way he sees them in his imagination — beauty is what he sees, not value. With his work, the observer is grabbed by the hand and taken into a sublime figurative surrealistic and very colorful journey. Alonso's extensive travels throughout Europe, the Middle East, India and Asia had major influences on his artistic sensibilities. Finally, after driving across country from South Beach, Juan -Manuel decided to settle in Palm Springs where he currently lives with Nynja, his exotic Xoloitzcuiniti, while he continues creating, mentoring students, and volunteering for the Desert AIDS Project. Juan Manuel has exhibited in galleries in Miami, New York, Colorado, and California. JUAN-MANUEL ALONSO 760 318 49 31 mdeljcadekuba@gmail.com Walking around the electrical boxes in order to get the pedestrian point of view as well as going approximately 100 feet away and getting the drivers point of view is how i have come to design the art work of nature in the area. When seeing the boxes in the distance noticed that in every angle of the 360 degrees what was really jumping to my eyes were the palms trees in the horizon . as a pedestrian noticed as well that the same palm trees are very close by to the boxes . taking the two points of views of both the pedestrian and the driver i have come to the conclusion that a horizontal line in change of color will blend the boxes into its surroundings giving them weight and grounding them. The flying crows are a familiar touch to this piece.
