Time Lapse: Baker’s Global Rainbow. . This piece is a tribute to the original rainbow flag designed by artist Gilbert Baker to honor the San Francisco Gay Freedom Parade in 1978. The design of the original flag had eight colors, each one with its own symbolism, but because of practical matters, two of those colors disappeared to give rise to the flag that we have today: a six-color rainbow. This Time Lapse was created with unused material I had from previous pieces. I created this rainbow with images of random people passing by some of the walls I featured in pieces from New York, London, Rio de Janeiro, Beijing, Sidney and Los Angeles. . . #xanpadron #pride #rainbowflag #lgbt #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #lgtb #lgtbq #lgtbqia #timelapse #gilbertbaker #prideflag @susanspiritusgallery @hadani_gallery @michelemariaudgallery @shayne_gallery @julesplacegallery #art #conceptart #prideart #manacontemporary #manadecentralized #theotheronlinestudios #saatchiart (at San Francisco Pride) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8NMBQic2Q/?igshid=g17w3gjy9a8t

I was able to spend a few weeks in New York. I had to take care of a few things and @crisispato and I managed to travel back to our other home... It was the first time we were there since March 10th and, although it was unique to experience the city during these strange times, I decided I needed to document it, the same way I’ve been documenting cities for the past 8 years... This is from a wall I have shot many times, right on our neighborhood, the West Village... I’ve done this wall in February and it was interesting to see the way we dress and walk before and during the pandemic... Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay strong. . . . #xanpadron #theotheronlinestudios #westvillage #timelapse #covidartmuseum #covidart #covid19 #hadanigallery #susanspiritusgallery #michelemariaudgallery #julesplaceartgallery #enblancoartgallery #saatchiart #theotherartfair #orange #nyc #walking #conceptualart #greenwichvillage #newnormal2020 #newnormal #socialdistancing2020 #wearamask (at West Village, Manhattan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBk98vZiFRC/?igshid=95tgw56jwl0m

And this one is from mid February in Copacabana (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). I tagged along @crisispato who had some work to do in Rio and I spent the days walking around the visible parts of the city but also the invisible ones... I learned a lot and I enjoyed working in the different neighborhoods of Rio. So diverse. So beautiful. So complex. - Looking forward to the time when is safe to show all these pieces of people walking by with real people walking by them... - Stay safe. Stay healthy.

I’m putting together some of the Time Lapses I shot this past year. Including this one from Medellín, Colombia. @crisispato and I visited Medellin in December and we fell in love with the city and its people... This wall is at the Avenida Carabobo Thank you @santa_barbara_sky and @eksk99 and @gruponeurocienciasantioquia for the incredible work you do and for introducing us to this beautiful city... —— . . . #xanpadron #timelapse #colombia #antioquia #medellin #neuroscience #susanspiritusgallery #michelemariaudgallery #hadanigallery #photography #theotheronlinestudios #art #artwork (at Medellin, La Ciudad de La Eterna Primavera) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLPabuCTQZ/?igshid=14df3o5ntyaob

When my father was alive, we used to drive almost every day between Spain and Portugal. We used to avoid highways and always took narrow roads, finding joy in all the hidden treasures we ran into. Now that the borders are closed because of the pandemic, I wanted to post some of the images I took some time ago... The women I know from Galicia and the women I know from Portugal both share an incredible resilience towards whatever life brings them... Passport may be different but culturally speaking Galicians are deeply connected to Portugal, you really can’t tell the difference between us Galicians from the south and Portuguese from the north... . . . . #xanpadron #noborders #weareallthesame #galicia #portugal #freedom #woman #womenpower #whereicomefrom #father #mother #neighborhood #neighbors #resilience #covid_19 #covid19 #covid19art #michelemariaudgallery #susanspiritusgallery #hadanigallery #galicianart (at Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAsLYcLK4mD/?igshid=1wg874sfjpgu5

Through back to @theotherartfair Chicago last May, mostly because we would have been there right now if it wasn’t for the horrible situation the world is dealing with right now... - The things I miss the most from these amazing fairs presented by @saatchiart are the contact with the Art lovers who come, and the friendships created with awesome artists and human beings like @krissihart and her “assistant” Mark ;-)... - A year ago we were there, all together, celebrating TOAF Chicago and my “assistant” @crisispato and I also celebrated 21 years together as a team... Looking forward to the next one. Whenever that’d be. - Love and hugs to the incredible team from @theotherartfair that makes these fair run like magic and to all the fellow artists out there who were supposed to be exhibiting their work this weekend in Chicago... Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Today I share this Time Lapse from Santiago de Compostela, mostly because today is Galician Literature Day and I wanted to celebrate it, but also because I miss being out and taking pictures of people passing by...

Last Fall I went to Boston for a few days to try to find the right location for one of my Time-Lapses... I shot this one in front of the Grand Lodge of Masons around the Theater District in Boston. In these times of social distancing it feels strange to look at all these random people walking by the street, before the pandemic hit the two countries I consider home... I’m using this time of mandatory lockdown to try new things but also to put together pieces from cities I didn’t have time to edit before, and somehow this process makes me wonder what is the new reality we will face once we can go back to the streets without the fear and the sense of vulnerability we all feel right now... Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay strong. And if you can, stay home. . . #xanpadron #socialdistancing #lockdown #theotheronlinestudios #timelapse #boston #masoniclodge #massachusetts #stayhome #covid_19 #flattenthecurve #photography #art @hadani_gallery @susanspiritusgallery @michelemariaudgallery @julesplacegallery #visualart #visualartist (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_fKvvYi8k5/?igshid=1o95ptdxbdguf

“Cristina & Xan on a Phone over NYC”. @crisispato and I moved to New York City 16 years ago... no smart phones back then, no WiFi at our tiny home...we connected to our loved ones via the public phone on the corner of Bleecker and 11th St and we literally spent hours every day talking to our people here in Galicia... I created this drawing back then, and a year later I took a class on engraving and decided to create one based on that drawing, which is now hanging at our Galician home, reminding us the beginning of this fascinating path of creating a life in the arts... Today, more than ever, I think about how incredibly fortunate we are to be able to connect around the world without breaking confinement and I reflect about the kind of “normal” we all will have to build after coronavirus... Stay safe. Stay healthy.

And then the rain came, and for a second, the sun appeared too... and then it was night.. I spent the whole day doing “real” Time-Lapses with my iPhone to try to get the dissolution of my new ephemeral piece... Hope you like it, although this one is not for sale: it is my barbecue wall, painted with barbecue charcoal during a day I couldn’t barbecue anything... Another day of #lockdown #shelterinplace2020 ... stay healthy, stay strong. - . . #xanpadron #timelapse #ephimeralart #charcoaldrawing #rain #fade #washed #instaart (at Galicia, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_KZ4WFCuhY/?igshid=1dfxr0ywh6i9g
