+ Aug - Oct
Jason Engelund, el Pintor


Flamenco and Bullfight inspired paintings by Jason Engelund, el Pintor, on display in the ThirstyBear's Flamenco Room. Prints and originals for sale. Contact jengelund@yahoo.com

The paintings on display at the Thirsty Bear's Flamenco Room carry a part of flamenco through painting. The Landscape of the Seguiriyas series is an exploration of the psychological landscape of flamenco’s deep song of lament. The seguiriyas, as Paco Sevilla writes in his book “Queen of the Gypsies”, is flamenco’s most profound song. Flamenco and bullfight cultural icons such as the ghostly bullhorns of the bullfight, or the anvil of the Romani (gypsy) blacksmiths are used in these paintings to visually sing a seguiriyas. The Morao y Oro series looks to a lighter side of flamenco, the dress of a spinning dancer, the flowers of a fiesta, the chairs where your friends and family come and go, to sit and play. See more of the artists' work at jasonengelund.com.
