Perry VàsquezRealistic Palm Tree Oil Painting, "Landscape 1"
About the Item
This is a one of a kind original conceptual realistic oil painting by local San Diego artist, Perry Vàsquez. Its dimensions are 28.5 x 96.5. It comes in a wooden neutral frame.
The artist has depicted a palm tree on fire against a blue sky background and has employed bright and vivid colors like blue, brown, dark green, yellow and red. The artist also uses an impasto painting technique by layering thick paint onto the canvas.
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.”
