ABOUT THE NEW SEASON
Not only is this mask new to be Gallery, but this piece by Duarté has been done especially for be Gallery.
While we have had Octavio’s work in the gallery before, he began doing masks only this past year, and the ones we have were created for us. This mask is one of a kind, hand carved, painted and laquered.
We have three wonderful pieces from reknown Oxacan painter Juan Carlos Breceda. Yes, that is a fantastic square bull! Breceda’s pieces are so charming they make one smile, yet so masterful in design and use of color they are works to return to again and again to find new passages of light and space. These works are acrylic and pastel – an unusual combination – that combines the texture of pastel with the depth of color of the acrylic for a unique visual experience. Each measures 29″ x 22 ” and is $1200 unframed. Contact the gallery to discuss framing options.
Also in the gallery are works by Ronaldo Glaubitz. Glaubitz is one of the border artists; his father an anglo from the states, his mother Mexican from Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico. I’ve been following and collecting Ronaldo’s work since the late 80’s when he did mostly portraits of local denizens of Rosarito and his family and friends. He’s currently painting urban scapes, configurations of figures, buildings, and energy with a very edgy, contemporary visual vocabulary. But the pieces are densely patterned and bring to mind not only his life in the highly populated cities of Tijuana and San Diego, but the intricate lacquered boxes and tapestries of Mexican artisans that are also part of his heritage. Ronaldo’s pieces are 13″ x 15″ framed and are $275.
