About the Item
Rain and Mountains by Javier Vicente
Handwoven Zapotec Rug attached to a wooden wall hanger
56" x 32"
Javier grew up in the town of Teotitlán in the state of Oaxaca, the son and grandson of a family of weavers. In the mid-nineties, when the economic problems and peso devaluation in Mexico caused very hard times all over the country, Javier left home alone and headed to the United States to earn money for his family. He knew no one there. He was fifteen years old.
After making his way to Orange County, California, he found a job washing dishes in a restaurant, living on the bare minimum so he could send money home to Oaxaca every week. He worked at that same restaurant for ten years. Ready for a change, he packed up and moved to Oregon, where he lived and worked seven years more.
Then he had an epiphany. He realized that he wanted to do what he'd been trained to do since age five, to go home to his family and become a weaver in the treasured Oaxacan tradition.
Before long, Javier's original designs, worked in wool with all natural dyes, earned him the designation Master Weaver. Now, he spends six months a year working in Bucerias, and the other six at home in Teotitlán.

- Untitled (Spray Painting 5) : contemporary abstract work of artLocated in New York, NYAbstract geometric artwork by a contemporary artist Gerald Wolfe. Gerald Wolfe’s wall pieces have a three-dimensional, architectural feel. The artist’s approach to his paintings is intuitive. He meticulously creates his works step by step, imbuing shapes and lines with energy. The interplay of forms, color, and texture creates tension between flatness and depth. His work can become a unique gift and will be a wonderful addition to any space, be it a living room of a modern home or a lobby of a commercial building. Gerald Wolfe received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from the University of Maryland in 1972, discovered his interest in art and went on to study fine arts at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. In the summer of 1974, he also studied at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. From his first show in 1979, a summer invitational at OK Harris Gallery, Gerald has shown his work on a consistent basis in New York, including such galleries as Denise Bibro Fine Art, NYC, and Kim Foster Gallery, NYC . In addition, he has had solo exhibits at the Paterson Museum in Paterson, New Jersey...Category
