      Juan R.D. Durruthy (born 1971), Mixed Media, 'La espera', 2003

      Est: €4,000 - €5,000

      Mixed media (oil on digital photograph), laid down on board Cuba, 2003 Juan Roberto Diago Durruthy (born 1971) - Cuban artist Inscribed with 'Roberto Diago /De la serie " rostros que sólo yo no veo "/ foto manipulada - edición unica / 2003' and signed 'R Diago' on the reverse; signed again 'R/Diago' upper left and right Titled 'la espera' within the image Dimensions: 105 x 77 cm Provenance: Private collection, Spain A strong insight into the Cuban life in the characteristic color range of the artist. The current highest auction record for a work by Durruthy is more than €16,000 The present mixed media work by Juan Roberto Diago Durruthy (born 1971) from 2003 shows a black and white photograph with a seated black boy. Covered with wild and broad strokes of black oil paint, the portrait only reveals the upper body of the sitter. In the center of the composition appear crater-like relief formations of color that are seemingly caused by fire and scratching. Beneath it reads the words 'la espera' (The wait). Durruthy has succeeded in creating a sensitive portrait by formalizing human feelings like melancholy, rage and rebellion driven to extremes. On the one hand, in his works the artist deals with his Cuban identity, reaching from the history of his ancestries to the economic crisis of the 1990s. At the same time, his works make reference to the graffiti art, the Arte Povera and Durruthy's models in history of art, Michel Basquiat and Ed Ruscha. The work is inscribed with 'Roberto Diago /De la serie " rostros que sólo yo no veo "/ foto manipulada - edición unica / 2003' and signed 'R Diago', as well as signed again 'R/Diago' upper left and right on the reverse. The photograph is covered with a protective sheet and mounted in a black metal frame. The protective sheet dissolves in places from the photograph, and the framing is loose to the upper edge. The overall dimensions, including the frame, are 102 x 79 cm. The work measures 105 x 77 cm.
