In his paintings, Ángel Rodríguez-Díaz updates the concept of portraiture. Born in Puerto Rico, and with ties to Mexico and Texas, baroque expressions in painting are familiar to him. His compositions and details recall tangled jungles of green foliage, of golden fabric or velvet tapestry; they also reflect sparkling embroidery and a variety of exotic masks. Even though his theme is singular, the paintings contain no repetition and his gallery of portraits is an active document of our time. The artist’s use of rich color and texture is complimented by a highly skilled technique.
Ray Smith
This New York-Mexico-Texas-based artist expands the codes of personal mythology. Ray’s international high rank as an artist is evident in the revealing list of private and public collections of which he is a part. His huge eye-opening paintings on wood are a legend. The controversial paintings on rifles provide food for thought. His clocks may recall Dali but they really call on us to think about the 21st century and taking care of the human being. The watercolors and the tapestries reveal how many more challenges the artist can technically absorb and enjoy. Thus, we enter the most recent terrain where Ray Smith dwells, the ceramic and bronze sculptures where his characters acquire a unique three-dimensional magnitude.
