Gilbert Duran (b. 1936, Texas), Hill Country Farm, watercolor, sight: 13.5"h x 17.5"w, frame: 22.75"h x 26.75"w Duran has been painting for over five decades in San Antonio. He took a hiatus to El Paso for 10 years then returned and opened a studio downtown. Much of his art hangs in local restaurants, often commissioned pieces. His artist statement reveals the influence of Early Texas artists on his work: "I can paint in many different directions: abstract, modern art, wildlife, landscape ... and I sculpt, do mosaics—everything. I do read the biography of all the artists that I’m trying to interpret. ...Botero, Picasso, Gauguin or Porfirio Salinas; the biography, and their techniques. I used to collect a lot when I was starting painting. I had one by Raul Gutierrez and Porfirio Salinas. We happily provide seamless shipping services on everything we sell.
