About the Item
This portrait memorializes the artist’s childhood best friend, John Robert Holt Jr. (May 1978-December 2009) who served two tours in Iraq as a combat medic. John suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder following his discharge and committed suicide in December of 2009. The red tint in the soldier’s eyes stands out against the greytones in the subject’s face and uniform, which, combined with his distressed facial expression, show the affliction and hurt that led to the soldier’s unfortunate death.
Vincent Valdez is most recognized for his monumental portrayal of the contemporary figure. His drawn and painted subjects remark on a universal struggle within various socio-political arenas and eras. “My aim is to incite public remembrance and to impede distorted realities that I witness, like the social amnesia that surrounds me,” states Valdez.
Screenprint created by Vincent Valdez during a stay in Los Angeles, working at Self Help Graphics. Signed, titled and numbered in pencil from an edition of 85.
Vincent Valdez received his B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. He has had one-person shows at the Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum, the San Antonio Art League Museum, and the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center in San Antonio, Texas. He has also exhibited his work at Parsons University, Paris; the Art Museum of South Texas, Corpus Christi; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Smithsonian; and the Mexican Museum in Chicago. His work is included in the collection of Cheech Marin, and is part of the traveling exhibition Chicano Visions: American Painters on the Verge. He currently resides in San Antonio.
