Artist Crush: Jose Arenas

Friday, May 14, 2010 · 1 Comment

Jose Arenas‘ work is folksy, fanciful and lively. I also sense influences of one of my favorite artists, Frieda Kahlo. The bright colors and patterns, the child-like naivete and the personal allegories- it all feels very Kahlo to me. These imaginative paintings, which some might call quaint or sentimental, are a refreshing escape from the more popular stuff that hits the same tired notes over and over again. I have a great deal of appreciation for artists like Arenas who go against the grain and show us what’s possible.
