Offered for sale is a pen and ink hand colored with watercolor by artist Jorge Zeno titled "Esperando al final para volver a empezar, Disparates aburridos" pencil signed lower left and dated 1981. Framed with a wood frame and presented behind glass with a mat board and liner. Wired and ready to hang.
Born in Washington DC, Jorge Zeno was a painter, draftsman, printmaker, and sculptor. Zeno came to live in Puerto Rico at the age of three. He earned his BFA from the Puerto Rico School of Plastic Arts in 1979. That same year, the Fourth San Juan Biennial of Latin American and Caribbean Prints awarded him a prize for his woodcut La profecía (The Prophecy). He completed his training with visits to New York (where he joined the Printmaking Workshop), Mexico City (where he worked in the studio of Leo Acosta), and, in 1991, Paris. Since the late eighties, his work has been widely received and recognized on the island. In 1999 three of his sculptures were installed in public squares in Old San Juan as part of the Arte Urbano (Urban Art) municipal project. Zeno employs the Surrealist idiom of such artists as Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, and Remedios Varo, and his work is characterized by its depiction of enchanted, magical settings that he invites us to enter. He is also interested in landscape, which he has worked in throughout his career, especially, most recently, in his series of oil paintings depicting the El Yunque rain forest. less
