== Noé Badillo == ==

Noé Badillo (born 22 September, 1978) is an artist and author of historical and philosophical publications on architecture. His professional career began in 1994 as a photographer of abstractions within nature. His work since then has continued to move through a number of periods marked by changes in his personal life and his view of the world. He is also a published author on the history and theory of architecture.

Art

Badillo's early work in black and white photography is typified by a strong interest in the mystery of nature and abstraction. His photographs of landscape are set within a microcosm, while other images focus on women in nature, the portrait and the body.

By 1996 his work began to evolve in drawing and painting, primarily of the human body as well as other experimental work. In 2003 Badillo lived and worked in Rome, Italy, when he became fascinated by the Italian Renaissance. Upon his return to the United States he became a studio assistant for the artist #REDIRECT Osvaldo Romberg. Badillo's work during that time included studying the human form in drawing as well as master copying under Romberg's instruction. Badillo's Van Gogh Period (2002-2003) also coincides with Romberg's work involving Vincent van Gogh during that time. Badillo's work from 2004 to 2006 reinterprets Renaissance themes within a kind of antiquarian-futurist style that also seems influenced by cryptanalysis and secret intelligence during the ongoing politico-military situation at that time. Around 2009, his work changes once again when he meets Elizabeth Anne Riedel, who becomes almost the sole focus of his work from that point on. Badillo's work since then has focused on an emphasis on his wife and children, depicting the strength of the human person, women and family.

Exhibitions

In 2010, Badillo's work was featured in the exhibition at the Latino Museum of Art, History and Culture in Los Angeles (now closed). His work was also featured at the Tucson Museum of Art's Arizona Biennial in 2013, the Udinotti Museum of Figurative Art as well as the Farmington Museum of Art in 2017.
