José García Cordero

Education

edit

He studied painting with the Dominican Master Hernández Ortega. In 1977, running away from Balaguer's dictatorship, he moves to Paris in a voluntary exile,[2] where he studied Contemporary History in the University of Vincennes.

Career

edit

During his career, he has received multiple recognitions, such as the "Merit Medal" granted by the French Senate for his contributions to Latin American culture,[3] the "Gold Medal" in the 1st and 3rd Edition of the Caribbean Biennale Museum of Modern Art of Santo Domingo [es], among others. His works have been exhibited in group and solo shows in galleries, museums, art fairs and institutions in Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and the United States.

Exhibitions

edit

In 1994, he was part of the "Modern and Contemporary Art of the Dominican Republic," at the Americas Society of New York[4][5] and the Bass Museum of Art of Miami Beach.[6]

In 1995 he exhibits the itinerant show "Caribbean Visions" in the Smithsonian Museum, Washington, D.C., Center For The Fine Arts, currently named Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), among other institutions. Judy Cantor, from Miami New Times,[7] writes:

"In the stairwell leading to the exhibition hangs "Las Palmas de Morel" (Morel's Palm Trees), by Dominican painter José García Cordero. Depicting the tiny figure of an artist who stands at his easel below giant palm trees blowing fiercely in high winds, the painting provides an unsettling alternative to the typical tranquil image of the Caribbean landscape. [...] Garcia Cordero's painting hints that "Caribbean Visions" could be a provocative survey of inspired contemporary art [...]."
