Jose L. De Juan
Vancouver, British Columbia
Jose L. De Juan is an avid plein artist always on the lookout for that lighting situation that stops him on his tracks. Could be anything, really: from a shadow falling just-so to an urban canyon. Inspired by his countryman Sorolla, he chases light and a loose brushstroke that looks like paint but holds ideas . Sometimes he even lets the brush roam his tiny studio. He tries to resist the picturesque or sentimental but what can you do, art has to reflect the light within rather than lick every corner clean of mystery. He loves the sensuality of oil and the ambiguity of watercolor.
"The dust of destroyed belief should make a nice sunset."
