Saturday is Artwalk✨ This months exhibit #ELGENTILEARTE by @evillustrations323 opens 5/13 from 7-11pm. 5159 York Blvd 90042 #Repost ・・・ "Jiu Jitsu/El Gentil Arte/The Gentle Art" New Paintings by ERNESTO VAZQUEZ In Japanese "Ju" means Gentle and "Jitsu" means Art or Technique, and can be translated literally into, The Gentle Art. It is said because one uses leverage and technique to take ones opponent to the ground in order to dominate and submit them. This exhibit showcases 10 new paintings by Ernesto Vazquez in which the subjects are caught in submission holds where either life or limb are at risk. Each subject is rendered as a skeleton,not to depict the face of death but to illustrate that underneath all of us, our bones are just as vulnerable as that of the armor of the ancient Samurai. The entire series was painted using a mixed media of Acrylic Paints, Markers, Inks and Pencil. A swift and flowing style was applied to create the feeling of movement in the pieces. Opponents caught in submissions where if they did not submit or "tap out" they would either have broken bones or would be put to sleep due to the submission holds. Jiu Jitsu is a beautiful martial art that can empower any person and this exhibit is meant to share that beauty and power. #evillustrations323 #evillustrations #ernestovazquez #paintings #jiujitsuart #jiujitsu #gracie #graciejiujitsu #graciebarra #graciebarrapasadena #warriorsjiujitsu #mividaboutique #mividahighlandpark #highlandpark #elsereno #elserenoartist (at Highland Park, Los Angeles)
