Born
in Getxo, Euskadi (Spain) in 1938, José-Maria Cundin's
professional trajectory expands a half century. Esteemed as
an outstanding advocate of the historical 'Avant Garde' in
his native Basque Country, his first one-man show was in Bogota,
Colombia, where he lived during the '5Os and created wide-ranging
projects.
Cundin
established residence in the United States in 1958 in New
York. In 1964 he moved to New Orleans where he is regarded
with renown. Presently he resides in
Folsom, Louisiana
.
His
latest projects (still in progress) include "The Obelistic
Presences", an exhaustive metaphorical exercise concerning
the obelisk, and "The Plausible Semblances of Illustrious
Women", an abstract portrait gallery of ambitious proportions.
Cundin's
paintings and sculptures are in numerous private collections
in Europe (including Spain, France, England, Germany and Belgium)
and the Americas (the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil
and Colombia) and his works hang in these Institutions: Museo
de Bellas Artes de Bilbao; ARTIUM, Contemporary Art Museum,
Vitoria, Basque Country, Spain; Museo de Zea, Medellin,  Colombia;
New Orleans Museum of Art; and Johnson & Wales University.
