Perry Vàsquez
Conceptual Minimalist Painting on Canvas, "The Ideal Copy 35" "

About the Item

This is a one of a kind contemporary conceptual painting by local San Diego artist, Perry Vasquez. The artist uses an alternative photography method. The original photograph is printed on heat transfer paper applied to the canvas. The artist then paints over it using oil paints. Its dimensions are 22" x 22". Vasquez has depicted a palm tree on fire against a clear blue sky background. The artist employs an impasto technique using thick brushstrokes and dabs of paint that build up on the canvas creating texture and depth. Regarding his “burning trees”, 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.”
