About the Item
Artist Comments
I was interested in painting the details of the Japanese characters on the bottle. I wish I knew what it mean. I love the orange's reflection on the bottle and the liquid reflection on the bottle's cast shadow. All these details made it an enjoyable subject for me to paint. This piece is mounted on a cradled wood panel with mahogany stained sides (not pictured).
About the Artist
Jose’s soft still life paintings are like visual puns. He creates relationships between objects that evoke both amusement and contemplation in the viewer. By devising a clever dialogue between objects, Jose turns a still life into a story. Jose utilizes a classical realist style with a gentle nod to surrealism through his unique subject selections. He is inspired by everyday objects, particularly those with a quality of nostalgia, memory, or humor. Jose paints out of his Los Angeles area apartment, where he also enjoys playing the keyboard and reading art books.
