ABOUT THE WORK

          Jerry Elizalde Navarro’s fondness of painting dancers as his subject is again  showcased in this work of art.
          Navarro relives a beautiful memory, as he created a colorful rendition of his  original drawing Obon Dancer at Rest, Kyoto that was inspired by his sojourn  to Japan in the late 1950s, where he held a one-man exhibition at the  Mitsukoshi Art Gallery in Tokyo.  In congruence to the Japanese aesthetic,  this tempera captures the calm spiritual rhythm of the dancer.
