@5pm for MACLA’s 22nd Annual Latinx Art Now! Auction and Exhibition. We have over 50 incredible pieces by Latinx Artists, who this year are able to keep 50% of what their piece sells for due to the financial impact COVID-19 has had on our communities. Check out the artwork in the Link in our Bio! George Rivera, “Limones de la Vida”
Oil on Canvas
9 x 12 in
2020
Retail Price: $400
Starting Bid: $300 “The Lemon series of oil paintings on panel and on canvas are a reflexion on duality in life; the lemons are full of color and life yet the leaves are decaying and eaten by insects, only lasting briefly. There are no promises but the warm light in the paintings represent hope.” As an artist, Rivera has been included in over 150 exhibitions locally, nationally and internationally. Since 1974 his drawings, mixed media and paintings have been presented at art centers, galleries and museums. His work have been represented by art galleries including the Group 21 Gallery, Los Gatos; Freeman Gallery, Palo Alto; Branner-Spangenberg Gallery, Palo Alto; Sperling Gallery, San Jose; the Pope Gallery, Santa Cruz; Ebert Gallery, San Francisco; Michael Himovitz Gallery, Sacramento; d.p. Fong Galleries, San Jose; Washington
Square/Togonon Gallery, San Francisco, and most recently with the Sandra Lee Art Gallery, San Francisco.
