About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Jose H. Alvarenga paints a tribute to rock and roll music. His guitar hero, a charming caricature, plays with enthusiasm, and the words "ROCK ON!!!" are written in all caps. An enamel keychain of a brown electric guitar hangs by a nail for a compelling accent. He draws the love and peace logo on the tape that holds the note to the wall. "I also thought it would be fun to add a copyright symbol on my name," 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.
