Red Light Special | Guillo Pérez 3 | Original Oil Painting

Original oil painting by Guillo Pérez 3 · Dominican-American contemporary artist · Available at Marcolina's Fine Arts Gallery, Tampa, Florida · Ships worldwide

Red Light Special is a large painting, 36 by 72 inches, and it fills the space it occupies with a specific kind of atmosphere. The color does something to the room before you understand what the painting is about. Red light does that. It changes everything around it.

Guillo works with color the way other painters work with line, as the primary carrier of meaning. In this painting, desire and urban life and the tension of a city at night are all in the color long before they are in the subject matter.

This is the kind of painting that looks different at different times of day. In morning light it is about memory. At night it becomes something else entirely.
