i’m in the middle of redecorating my house and looking for some art. Since music is my life, I have a lil collection of music artwork on my PC, I’m going through it now. My main piece is Duende by Ramon Lombarte, I love it because it looks so much like me that friends and family literally think its me the first time they see it.
I have some flamenco prints as well, but Im trying to keep the room modern and not veer too far into “traditional” territory.
SO, with that in mind I bypassed some nice pics by Fabian Perez that I really like and decided on El Guitarrista by Justin Bua.
The guitar player always reminds me of Prince, but for some reason I always imagined the scene was supposed to be Spain, perhaps because I keep the digital image in a file with my flamenco art.
I googled the artist because if Imma drop an entire 29.99 on a print(lol) I gotta know a little something about him.
The artist is Justin Bua. Let me take a moment to say, “Justin, call me”.
On to his art- “Distorted urban realism” seems to be the label for it; slices of New Yawk street life the subject. Definitely worth a look see if you like street culture, hip hop and all that good stuff.
