BIOGRAPHY
Eduardo De Soignie was born in Havana Cuba in 1970 where he received his initial art education. In 1988, he was admitted into the highly competitive Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) but had his studies interrupted after receiving an exit visa to immigrate to the US the following year. De Soignie moved to Miami, Florida, where he resided for three years.
In 1992, he received a scholarship to go to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago graduating in 1996. Since then, De Soignie has been exhibiting in Chicago and the Midwest and had participated in symposiums and residencies in Canada, Spain, Poland and England.
In 2005, De Soignie had his first personal exhibit at a museum at the South Bend Regional Museum of Art, in Indiana. This important exhibition was followed by another solo show at the Indianapolis Art Center, in 2006.
This body of work received a Community Arts Assistance Grant from the City of Chicago Dept of Cultural Affairs and the Illinois Arts Council in 2006. During the summer of 2008, De Soignie’s work was included in a show at the Mexican Fine Arts Museum, in Chicago: “A Declaration of Immigration.”
His work can be seen in several books published by Front Forty Press (www.front40press.com). “Short Stories Illustrated by Artists” was released at PS1, New York, and its illustrations were more recently exhibited at Books and Books, in Coral Gables, Florida. “Signs of the Apocalypse/Rapture,” is a new title that includes De Soignie’s “Saint Child of Atocha,” with a scheduled exhibit at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago in 2009.
