Perry VàsquezContemporary Conceptual Palm Tree Painting, "The Ideal Copy 0026"
About the Item
This is a one of a kind conceptual painting by local San Diego artist, Perry Vàsquez. Its dimensions are 12.5 x 12.5. It comes in a neutral wooden frame.
The artist uses an alternative process using heat transfer of a photograph onto canvas. He then paints over the photograph making each copy unique using an impasto painting technique by applying thick paint on to the canvas. This painting depicts a palm tree on fire against a blue sky.
Vàsquez focuses primarily on his exploration of various iterations of palm trees. Ubiquitous in Southern California, and historically viewed as a provider of nourishment, shelter, and bounty, the trees in Vásquez’s paintings are instead framed in peculiar or dire scenarios. Many of the trees in his work are ablaze, or are actually cell towers that pose as a living palm. They are superbly painted with layers of color and detail; they have become anthropomorphized through their portraiture-style framing on the canvas and dance-like poses.
Vásquez explains, “I recall being shaken the first time I saw a burning palm tree. My response was to investigate the meaning of this phenomenon through painting and to work through my feelings of awe and dread. I want my paintings of palm trees to give viewers the idea they are standing at the base of a religious painting like a crucifixion or an annunciation. The mixture of violence and beauty seems very Christian to me and the message is similar: All things must pass. Our species can choose to protect and nurture life on our planet or we can waste it. The choice is ours.”
