October 11, 2010 By Megan Maquera Columbia Spectator "If Chelsea is the grand dame of the New York art scene, then Harlem is the up-and-coming ingénue.

Disabled artist defies the odds: NEW YORK (WABC) — Seldom in life do you come across people who clearly were meant to cross paths. Well, Carl Thelemaque and Haile King Rubie are such people. Canvases are their common road. "When he's on it and you leave him alone, he's on it," Thelemaque said. "He's like, 'This is it, this is what I'm doing, I'm doing this." Themeaquie is the teacher and Rubie the student, although Carl prefers to call Haile his equal. And it means the world to the 18-year-old. Haile has down syndrome and often functions on the level of a 10-year-old. But surrounded by vibrant oranges and blues, age is just a number. Haile has created a world of art with no formal training. The two spend hours together painting, and the hard work has paid off. Haile's pieces are now featured in an exhibit at St. Mark's Untied Methodist Church in Harlem. Others have appeared in galleries and sold for up to $1,200 dollars. "I can't explain where his talent comes from, his inspiration," gallery owner Lawrence Rodriguez said. "But it has come together in a really good package." One art showing is extra special. Just three months ago, a team of doctors Mount Sinai performed open heart surgery on Haile. Now, he's back to thank them. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart," he told the doctors before donating three of his works. They will hang in the pediatric intensive care unit. He says he wants to be an artist when he grows up. But the simple fact is, he is already there. |

Art Exhibit Chronicling Amadou Diallo's Life On Display In Harlem The exhibit, now open at the Casa Frela Gallery, aims to honor Diallo's life, seven years after he was shot and killed by police. Click here to view the video. "The show is about love and about hope that this won't happen again and that another mother will not have to weep over her son," says gallery owner Lawrence Rodriguez. "His name is part of history, part of Africa, part of being in this country as an immigrant," says photographer Jim Carroll. "It signifies people who want to make things better for their life in this country." A portion of the profits from the art show will be given to the Amadou Diallo Foundation for Education. |
