“Exposición Española de Arte” – Meet The Spanish Artists Ramon Vilanova and Joseph Domenech
Opening Reception

THIS EVENT IS NOT ORGANIZED BY EUROCIRCLE – just something interesting many of you might want to enjoy

NOTE: Your RSVP is Requested by the gallery: (512) 478-4440

Friday, May 4th 2012 6-9pm
Russell Collection Fine Art Gallery
1137 West 6th Street
Austin TX 78703

Both of the artists live in Barcelona area, Spain.

Acclaimed by art critics in prominent and distinguished collections throughout Europe, Ramon Vilanova is one of the great landscape painters living in Europe. Despite, or perhaps because of Ramon Vilanova’s years as a technical illustrator, color is now more important to him than drawing. Using a spatula, he stains the canvas, and then he uses the dripping and splattering techniques of oil impasto to create his intensely colored, densely textured work. Vilanova works exclusively plein aire, “at that time and place” giving his compositions a special sensitivity and evoking an emotion of the scene he has chosen to commit to canvas in an expressionistic style.

In his own words, Joseph Domènech says, “I always try to go deeply into myself, searching for the equilibrium, the simplicity – to show just the basic element. I express myself through objects, elements, figures, different situations, feelings, balance, meditation and self-reflection.” His unusual technique began with an economical choice during lean financial times. It involves applying oil with rags and cloths, using diluted color with trementine essence and then adding many layers and eliminating some. He lets the paint dry many times over until he reaches the desired effect. His works of art are, as he says, “food for thought…combinations of emotions are reflected in my paintings.”

Join us at 230 Fifth Avenue to watch the Eurovision Song Contest Finals.

We will have our own private area to watch the song contest that this year is taking place in Baku. We will have access to their beautiful rooftop where we can enjoy yummy barbeque and drinks.

Featured Co-Host: Alexandra Eliseeva

About Eurovision:
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) was formed on 12th February 1950 by 23 broadcasting organisations from Europe and the Mediterranean at a conference in Devon, United Kingdom. It was on the 6th of June, 1954, that Montreux became the venue for the first transmission by the EBU’s Eurovision Network of the Narcissus Festival and its flower-bedecked procession floats.
“Did you know that not only stars like ABBA, Celine Dion, Cliff Richard and Julio Iglesias took part, but also dance act Riverdance thanks its fame to the Eurovision Song Contest?” The first Eurovision viewers eagerly watched on four million television sets in homes, bars, and shop windows in Germany, Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

At 230 Fifth you’ll be in for one unforgettable afternoon on its heated rooftop bar or enclosed Penthouse Lounge.
From their year-round rooftop bar, New York presents a spectacular skyline that has to be seen to be believed.

We hope you join us for this fun afternoon!

Best,
Alex and the Eurocircle NY Team

Come and celebrate Rodeo Month with us.
Join us for a night of drinks and ‘Goode Company’ at the Armadillo Palace.

The Armadillo Palace is a veritable Old-West saloon with ice-cold beer, smooth whiskey, live Texas music and of course, Goode food. The place is pure country, with saddles as seats and great friendly service.

If you have passed the iconic giant armadillo with the red glowing eyes thousands of times without ever going in this is your chance. This place has really great burgers! We tried the bleu cheese and bacon burger and they have the best red onions to top it sweet and with a little kick.

Happy Hour from 4:00pm to 7:00pm

So join us for this night and bring your friends and colleagues !
