2010 Featured Artist Joseph Velazquez
Joe Velazquez' creative passion is the exploration of the human spirit, whether it is a by-gone moment in history or a snippet from yesterday's fare. His personal challenge begins as he envisions the role light, shadow and shade will play in the accurate depiction of the scene emerging from his canvas. The play of light is what causes the mystery of form and shadow to become a visual feast, an emotional experience. Velazquez' use of color depends on the ambiance of the story to be told. Sometimes his color usage is very bold and brilliant. Other times it is soft and monochromatic. The emerging story dictates the palette. Original works can be seen at The Wort Hotel and West Lives On Gallery, www.westliveson.com.
Please contact the jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce Offices to purchase your commemorative Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival poster for just $30 unsigned or $40 signed by the artist, Joseph Valezquez! Previous editions are also available in very limited quantites. Call for more information and to place your order! 307.733.3316
