Born
in 1939, the renowned artist Naul Ojeda is a native of Uruguay where
he trained at the University of Uruguay, School of Fine Arts. He
has lived in France, Chile, Mexico, and since the late 1970s, has
been a resident of Washington, DC. The artist is best known for
his work in woodblock and linoleum prints, which he pulls by hand
in small editions. Naul Ojeda has exhibited widely in the U.S. and
internationally. Over the years he has been invited to participate
in numerous prestigious print biennials, including the Latin American
Biennial of Graphics in Santiago, Chile, The Biennial of Graphic
Arts in Cali, Colombia, and the Biennial of Latin American Graphic
Art in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In addition, his work has been selected
for various traveling exhibitions, among them, a Smithsonian organized
exhibit that toured the Bass Museum of Art in Miami, Florida, the
Balch Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the Lakeview Museum
of Art and Sciences in Peoria, Illinois. Ojeda's work is represented
in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum
of American Art, and the Art Museum of the Americas in the Organization
of American States, as well as the National Hispanic Cultural Center
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His prints have been commissioned by
Americas Magazine, Curbstone Press, the Institute for Policy Studies,
the University of Chicago Press, The Washington Post, and others.
The artist has received numerous awards, including fellowships from
the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities and the Distinguished
Immigrant Award 2001 from the American Immigration Law Foundation.
Although known primarily as a printmaker, Ojeda has occasionally
turned to watercolors and oils to free him from the exacting discipline
of the woodblock.
