About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Jose H. Alvarenga displays a vintage still life of an old photocard adjacent to a green lime. The little girl appears to paint the fruit beyond the card's dimensions. His charming wit for the playful layout of objects becomes the work's main focal point. "A two-dimensional picture seems to be painting a third-dimensional object, adding a little humor and confusion to the piece," says Jose.
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.
