Artwork description:
This is an original oil painting on a gelatin silver print by American artist Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO). The work is a vertical format, 13.25” high by 10.25” wide. The framed size is 20.25” high by 16.25” wide.
The subject is a female portrait, beginning with the actual photo of her which has been solarized in the darkroom, mounted and then overpainted in oranges and blue gray. The young woman is shown waist high. Her hair is straight and short. Her gaze is downward toward the viewer. She poses semi-nude, a bare shoulder showing as she holds a wrap of some sort across her chest.
The palette is one of grays from the original photograph highlighted with salmon pink/orange and enriched with a blue gray textured background. The work is titled “A.R. Slash Five.” It is in pristine condition and signed front lower right by the artist. The work is matted in thick black museum board and framed under plexiglass with a gloss black box frame with hardware.
De La Cruz has been a full-time professional fine artist since 1975. He was the subject of a museum-wide retrospective at Denver's Museo de las Americas in 2015-2016. He is listed among the three dozen most influential regional artists of the twentieth century in a Denver Post survey of regional curators and proved the bestselling artist at the first International Latino Art Auction in Phoenix, AZ. The Denver Art Museum's first purchase of a living Hispanic's work for its permanent collection was a De La Cruz. Years later, he was the only artist considered when that same museum wanted to commission a major, contemporary digital work commemorating the opening of its new Libeskind Building. De La Cruz was the recipient of back-to-back artist-in-residency grants from Colorado in his early career and received as well their very last painting fellowship. Other honors include award of Best Art Event of the Year by Westword Magazine and appointment to Denver’s Commission on Arts and Culture. For further information, please see the artist’s extensive website.
