About the Item
Elias Telles (b.1950, American)
Lonely Woman, 2019
Acrylic on Panel, Found Wood, Metal Brackets
15 x 18 Inches
Elias led an adventurous existence before becoming a self-taught painter. Born into a family of 14 siblings in East Los Angeles, he joined the Marine Corps upon graduation from high school and served two years in Vietnam as a rifleman. Once home he experienced undiagnosed post- traumatic stress disorder as a result and discovered the best way to subdue his demons was by producing drawings - that he would quickly destroy. It wasn’t until he was in his late ‘40s that he started to paint. At a local flea market one of his early works caught the attention of a set designer who placed it in a Steve Martin movie and from there his reputation grew: paintings subsequently appeared in a number of other productions which created a Hollywood following and his collectors now include several film directors, work is included in the permanent collection of The House of Blues, and he was one of the featured artists on the PBS series ‘Rare Visions and Roadside Revelations.’
An ex-marine, Telles lives quietly in California without a computer or a cell phone. His tastes lean towards American history and early blues and country music, subjects that frequently appear in his paintings. Soldiers, skeletons and honky-tonk men populate his paintings as do cultural and historical figures such as early minstrel show entertainer Gus Cannon, a ghoulishly- rendered Hank Williams, and the revered Alabama folk artist Bill Traylor, as well as numerous anonymous schoolteachers and sailors, seascapes and farm scenes. Provocative text is often included, Telles’s musings and his unique take on the world are a distinct feature of his work as are his elegant/rustic handmade wooden frames. While his brightly colored and more monochromatic scenes exude a celebratory atmosphere of Americana recalling the works of Horace Pippin and Grandma Moses, Elias Telles is a distinct personality and uniquely gifted artist who brings to his work all the charm of some earlier primitive painters combined with an unusually cerebral and provocative dimension.
Having recently retired from his lifelong trade of brick laying and marble-setting, Elias is now fully able to devote himself entirely to painting. A recent acquisition of his ‘Bean Eaters’ painting by the very established 19th century Algonquin Club in Boston has led to a commission of several additional paintings of historic Boston athletes for that institution when it re-opens in 2020 after renovations.
