Modern Black and White Abstract Figurative Pencil Drawing Study of a Seated Man

21st Century

About the Item

Black and white pencil drawing sketch of an abstract male figure by Cuba-born artist Alberto Godoy. The work features Godoy's iconic robust figure. The dimensions 60" x 48" are written in the upper left corner, likely notating the intended final size of the painting. Signed in pencil in the front lower right corner. Currently hung in a black frame with a grey matting. Dimensions Without Frame: H 10.5 in. x W 8 in. Artist Biography: Born in Cuba in 1960, painter Alberto Godoy fled the oppression of his native country in 1980. However, he brought with him to the United States vivid memories of his Caribbean homeland, which are reflected in his bold, colorful, warm-hued, and exotic images. In a body of recent works, Godoy has embraced symbolic folkloric themes depicting scenes from everyday historical Cuban life. Godoy's particular representation of primitivism is projected through his use of exaggerated volume, reflecting his philosophy of the nature in the spherical system of our universe. Godoy has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions at Spirit of Eco and El Taller Gallery in Austin, TX; Winter Street Art Center, Albert Gallery and Blosson Street Gallery & Sculpture Park in Houston, TX; Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Triunfando Awards; Southwestern Art Gallery, Coral Gables, FL; The Schacknow Museum Of Fine Art, Plantation, FL; and Ervab Art Gallery. His work appears in numerous corporate and private collections throughout the US, Europe and South America.
