ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This is an original oil painting on stretched canvas by American artist Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO). The work is 24” high by 18” wide. The subject is a traditionally rendered three-quarters length male portrait. The young man sits with his elbows on his thighs holding his weight with his wrists crossed between his open knees. He looks off to the right of the viewer with a set jaw and seemingly intense glaze. He has a large-brimmed hat on and wears a loose vest over a bulky light shirt with sleeves pushed up well above his wrists. The palette is essentially monochrome using only shades of browns, rusts and brick reds. The work is aptly titled “The Laborer.” It is in pristine condition and signed front lower right by the artist. (The image of work framed is for sizing perspective only.)

Jerry De La Cruz
United States
Born 1948, Denver, CO. Saatchi site presence maintained by Young's Fine Art. Extensive website at . "De La Cruz's mastery of formal and experimental techniques reflects a career dedicated to creative probing and discipline. It is rare indeed to come into contact with an artist who so successfully ranges from abstraction to surrealism in single canvases. Themes of personal identity and interpersonal responsiveness are layered into his work, allowing the viewer to share in the artist's process of questioning the relationships of his subjects to the world. The insights that develop in his works are universal in their ability to connect the reflective with the informative." Joaquin Alvarado Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO) was listed among the three dozen most influential regional artists of the twentieth century in a Denver Post survey of regional curators (2001). His was the only Spanish surname. At the first International Latino Art Auction held in Phoenix, AZ in conjunction with Sotheby's (2003), De La Cruz proved the best selling artist of the auction and drew the highest auction price for a single work. The Denver Art Museum's first purchase of a living Hispanic's work for its permanent collection was a De La Cruz. Years later, he was the only artist considered when that same museum wanted to commission a contemporary digital work commemorating the opening of its new Libeskind Building (2007). De La Cruz was the recipient of back-to-back artist in residency grants from Colorado in his early career and received as well their very last painting fellowship in 2000. For a spell in 2006, works of De La Cruz were included in three unrelated art museum exhibits in Denver (Denver Art Museum, El Museo and the Mizel). Other honors include award of Best Art Event of the Year by Westword Magazine and appointment to Denver's Commission on Arts and Culture. De La Cruz currently splits his time between his studio in the Santa Fe District in Denver and his new studio in the Little River District of Miami.
