AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Artist: Juan Álvarez, Spanish painter.
Resides and currently works on the outskirts of Madrid.

Title: Orange Feather Duster
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 60 × 73 × 2 cm
Support: Canvas mounted on stretchers
Year: 2020
Framed work. The piece with frame measures 86 x 73.2, 7 cm silver frame.
Signature: Signed by the artist in the lower right corner

Orange Feather Duster belongs to the artist’s first phase, when he began to consolidate his language in realism and started his professional gallery presence. The work is built around three everyday, humble objects: a cleaning feather duster, a glass soda bottle, and a brush-cleaning can. Objects of little material value that, however, become protagonists of a painting exercise of great sensitivity. The intense orange of the feather duster acts as the chromatic axis and a visual tension point, dialoguing with a greenish-blue background enriched by glazes and oxidized nuances. The chiaroscuro is restrained and subtle, reinforcing an intimate atmosphere. The glass bottle allows the painter to study reflections and light refraction, while the support, an old rubber mat stained with paint, adds a poetic, nostalgic, and slightly rough character that defines the piece’s vintage spirit.

The work is in good conservation condition.
Includes a certificate of authenticity with photograph of the artwork, dated and hand-signed by the artist.

Shipping is performed with the work mounted on its original stretcher and properly protected.

Seller's Story

Juan Álvarez Cebrián, a Spanish painter with a long career. His work is based on figurative and realist styles and also touches on abstract art. He currently lives and works on the outskirts of Madrid. A passionate advocate of drawing. His themes are varied; he does not like to be pigeonholed into a single subject. He works with the figure, landscape, nature subjects, even surrealism. A staunch defender of good technique in art, he has studied the great masters and, for that reason, was a copyist of works at the Prado Museum in Madrid for a few years.
