Piece description from the artist
Seeking inspiration from the Ensor "Crowd paintings" here the artist suggests the gathering of people as can be seen not only in these paintings, but also on the streets of Puerto Rico during local carnivals. This theme is redundant within Davila Rinaldi's work in which he has explored the energy and color you can feel in a crowded street. With a limited palette the painting stretches the limits of yellow.
Presently living and working in Puerto Rico. In 1979 participated in the GLCA Apprenticeship program in NY with Robert Stackhouse and Louis Liberman. Graduated from DePauw University in 1980 with a Liberal Arts degree. Showed at Galeria Luigi Marrozzini until the mid 90's, where he presented 4 individual shows that positioned him within the local art scene. In 1990 was selected for the traveling exhibit: New Art from Puerto Rico organized by the Springfield Art Museum. Painting Professor at Escuela de Artes Plasticas in San Juan for 2 years in the late 90's.
