On Friday, June 8th 2012, Antonio Fonseca and ten other artists participated in the annual dinner auction fundraiser to benefit the Museum of Contemporary Arts of Puerto Rico. Together with Sofía Maldonado, Melvin Martínez, Nina Méndez, Lorna Otero, Nestor Paoli, Edgar Rodríguez Luiggi, Jaime Romano, Noemí Ruiz, Jaime Suárez, and the twins Jaime and Javier Suárez. Dinner for the MAC 10 artist plus 1 took place at the prestigious restaurant Augustos. The night was filled with great music, art and food, most important the moneys collected in support to the Museum would have not been possible without the support of the artist, and devoted collectors. Thank you all for your support in making this event such a great success. (Thank you Georgie)
Adam and Eve seam to keep re-surfacing every now and then. This piece was lying around the studio for some time; patiently waiting to be finished. When I was invited to participate in the auction fundraiser to benefit the Museum of Contemporary Arts of Puerto Rico I thought, it would be a great peace to donate to this event since it resembles the technical characteristics of the Sin project. I have four versions of this subject, now three of them have been shown the remaining version is part of the Sin series and will be unveiled sometime soon. In this version Adam is playing a mysterious role as if he has no involvement Eve holds the apple branch in hand as if enticing him with it. Technically this piece was simple, the paper was stained using Coffee then baked, stretched, and drawn on with pencil and charcoal.
