MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA JR WITH JEFF KOONS IN NY ARTS MAGAZINE/CHINA ARTS

“This February, a group of 11 artists who hail from four different countries, explored the idea of “descent.” From moral to physical to mental, the idea of tumbling, floating and sliding downwards was probed through a wonderful array of paintings. Through planes going into descent, trees entering the autumnal season, the hand of god dropping toward a human eye and wonderful examples of abstract expressionism. The 11 contributors were Victor-Hugo Vaca II, Jeff Koons, Umberto Torricelli, Bata Musicki, Dylan Farrell, Kai Lintumaa, Duriye Yuksel, Trey Reed, Gencay Kasapci, Lucy DeLange and Andrea Serrano.

Among Victor Hugo’s works was the painting The Three Soldiers. This dark and sullen image filled with black and reds brings forth a feeling of impending doom. Of his own work, Hugo says: “It aims to induce feelings in the viewer which lead to self-examination. I paint what I see around me.”

Try Peace: Peace Is Cool.

The iconic image of “The Three Soldiers”, by Victor-Hugo Vaca II,  was displayed alongside works by Jeff Koons, the  Pop-art provocateur, who has broken a world record for a price paid for a single artwork by a living artist at auction, and “The Three Soldiers” painting was also featured in the celebrity driven, “Try Peace”, campaign, from the documentary titled, “The Marketing Of Peace”, produced, written and directed by Victor-Hugo Vaca II, which included members of The Goo Goo Dolls, Berlin, The English Beat (Dave Schulz), The Smiths, Electronic and Modest Mouse (Johnny Marr), UFC Champion (Tito Ortiz) and “Porn Stars For Peace” adult film stars (Ron Jeremy, Joanna Angel, Kaylani Lei, Trisha Uptown and Brea Bennet) to promote peace, love and an end to the U.S. invasion and war in Iraq.

“How would you market peace? The modern-art-gonzo-journalism being manifested through the Modern Art Music Movement™ , is not about dwelling in darkness, it is about shedding light, peacefully, on the wisdom of ages, raining down on humanity, at this moment of social unrest and awakening. The actions we take as a whole, with the knowledge we are given as one, shapes our immediate future eternally. Try peace. Peace is cool.” – Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II

The Artist As Matador In The Ring Of Life: Live, Love, Flow

In the Age of Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, failing to revisit anything that manifests toxicity in water or world leadership, is a recipe for disaster: Because, both elements are essential for life to exist in civilizations that prosper. It is no wonder, that global influence makers and sociologists have their eyes set on places like Flint, Michigan and the leadership laboratory in Annapolis, Maryland, the United States Naval Academy, as canaries in the social-contract-coal-mine, of human nature and evolution in human history.
