By: Michael Joe Krainak Painter Mike Giron has one foot firmly planted in his studio and another in academia. Like a number of local full-time artist-professors, such as Littleton Alston, Tim Guthrie, Wanda Ewing, Gary Day, Russ Nordman, Les Bruning and Barbara Simcoe, among others, Giron, too, wants to show that his voice extends beyond the classroom.

Yes, I’m a web newbie! Can’t you tell? As an artist, I’m getting to be a bit of an oldie. My love life with paint begain in 1989. The past twenty years have been quite a journey- but you would not know it, since I have not been aggressively showing my work. That’s changing. If you happen to be in Omaha, Nebraska on Friday, June 5th, 2009, please come visit the Hot Shops and see about 25 paintings I’ve produced over the past two years (some still very fresh). The gallery of Recent Works contains some of the work included in the show. Check it out. wwww.hotshopsartcenter.com Thank you, Michelle VBS for getting me and this website started! As we get this site built, please forgive any shortcomings and come back to see what we’ve developed. Tanks!! – Mike Omaha, NE – 12/09/08 Program begins at 6:00 PM in Joslyn’s Abbott Lecture Hall with Michael Girón, Professor of Art and Gallery Director, Bellevue University Beginning in the 1920’s, the Mexican Muralist Movement was an integral part of the cultural renaissance which occurred in the wake of the Mexican Revolution, and had profound social and political impact in Mexico and beyond her borders. Join us for a look at the Mexican Muralist Movement and several of its leading artists, especially “Los Tres Grandes”: Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Siquerios and Diego Rivera. Michael Girón holds an MFA from the University of Colorado at Boulder and BFA from the University of New Orleans and is currently Associate Professor of Art at Bellevue University and Metropolitan Community College. Since 2005, he has instructed a lecture and studio course called Mexican and Contemporary Murals – the focus of which is the Mexican Mural Movement, especially Los Tres Grandes: Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros. Prof. Girón’s parents fled to the U.S. from Cuba in 1962. His current effort to learn his parent’s native tongue has pulled him further into all things Latino. He is currently finishing a series of moveable murals, executed with Latino students, centered on the many faces of Latino identity. Tickets: $10 Joslyn Members; $15 General Public. Tickets will be available at the Museum, online or at the door; advanced reservations are encouraged. Revealing Rivera is inspired by the diversity of works in Joslyn’s special exhibition Diego Rivera and presents a variety of perspectives from local and national scholars and artists. Each event in the series includes exhibition viewing. For more information about this and other programs in the series, please contact Joslyn’s Associate Curator of Education (402) 661.3862. Other programs in the series include: * Sunday, November 9, 12:00 PM, The Art of True Fresco, workshop with Margaret Hennessey-Springe, independent artist and art historian, Lawrence, Kansas (Registration Required) |
