What People Are Saying "Each year we host our annual Dia de Los Muertos cultural celebration. This year [in 2010] we had the pleasure to partner with Arte de Eros, and his sister company Arte Without Borders, as we also included a themed art exhibition. Beyond Eros' own work hanging in the show, he also curated the overall event, drawing top artists from throughout the Los Angeles art world (and beyond!). Our experience was so positive, that we have decided to offer Eros an ongoing curatorial role. Trabajo dios Eros. Y muchas gracias por sus esfuerzos!" Conrado Terrazas President, Board of Directors El Centro Del Pueblo "Founded in 1781, El Pueblo de Los Angeles - the oldest surviving structure - is recognized as the birthplace of Los Angeles and the home of today's world famous Olivera Street. Located in the compound is the Galeria del Sotano, host to numerous culturally themed art exhibitions each year. This year, in celebration of Dia de los Muertos, we were thrilled to host the “El Baile del Venado” (dance of the deer) show, choreographed and performed by Eros Obregon - a splendid treat for the patrons of the night. Bravo Eros! You are welcome anytime you please!" Abelardo de la Pena, Jr. Director del Instituto Mexicano, Placita Olvera Ricardo Santibanez Santibanez Coordinator and Curato, Galeria del Soltano "I think what stands out for me with Eros (and with his partner Paul), is a profound generosity of spirit. You know when you attend an Eros art event, that you are being welcomed into a creative and giving family; one that reaches out to enfold all comers in an ever-inclusive manner; one that says, "Art is the Breath of Life, the Creative Force. Come in, Breathe Deeply, and Help Create a Better World." J Michael Walker Artist, Author JMichaelWalker.com "I really love my original print from Eros' Bus Stop series. I like the style of the image done in pastels - colors with harsh black accents and the exaggerated hand. The print quality is top notch. I'm equal parts pleased and impressed with the whole work." j. Reto Visual Artist Assistance Director, Affinity Galleries Los Angeles, California "I count Eros as one of my treasured artist clients. When I look at Eros' art, I feel the movement of his brush strokes and they touch my soul. While he may just now be emerging with a more general recognition of his work, his art is nonetheless museum quality. This is an artist well on his way!" Viva Sullivan Viva Sullivan Fine Picture Frames VivaSullivan.com "We hosted the introduction of the first of Eros' new line of Limited Edition Fine Art Prints. We can't tell you how well these works were received - both the artwork and the quality of the prints themselves. Later that same year (2009), we offered a second solo show, a "Bohemian night" filled with art and performance. Whenever Eros' work is hung, an energy is created; the artists, the poets, and the patrons, too, turn out! Salute, amore!"" Lucia Marano and Enrique Valdez Proprietors, Azteca Gallery Echo Park / Los Angeles, California "I attended a recent opening at the Seyhoun in Beverly Hills. One artist clearly stood out from the rest. What a pleasant surprise! Eros' work is top notch!" Ron Lemke Art Dealer Los Angeles, California "Incredible artist, fine quality and a delightful sense of color!" David Pirinelli Art Director - Television and Film Los Angeles, California "Eros' work is bold, strong, filled with life. We hosted a solo show of his work at our gallery to great success, so much so that we not only carried over pieces for a successive group show, but we would like to have him back again next year. Bravo!" Maryam Seyhoun Owner, Seyhoun Gallery Beverly Hills, California "Extraordinary... This is an artist to look out for!" Ewa Wojciak University of Southern California - Faculty Roski School of Fine Arts. "Arte de Eros has the prodigality and deftness found in the great tradition of the Spanish masters - Velasquez, Dali and Picasso. Outstanding work!" Theadora Van Runkle Costume Designer: Bullitt, Myra Breckenridge, Mame, New York New York, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and 26 others. Academy Award Nominee for Bonnie & Clyde, Godfather II, Peggy Sue Got Married "Impressive work! Lovely pictures, very vigorous and sensitive. Just wonderful!" William Haugse, ACE Visual Artist, Poet, Playwright, and Award Winning Filmmaker Nominated for an Oscar (for editing Hoop Dreams) and an Emmy, among others. This year's documentary feature, No Imact Man, was debuted at Sundance. "Eros is an artist who pours his soul into his work. His work is personal, deeply layered with emotions, and filled with meaning and matters of eternal importance. Bravo!" Charles Marder Designer, Mi Alma Designs, Inc.
