Tony De Luz’s “Rio Chama” depicts its namesake in exactitude. The multi-colored sandstone is embellished with bushels of green, creating an oasis of sage plains. The river is placid and marked with faint movement that touches on the calmness the water exudes. There are lush trees lining the basin of the scene and sprouting abundant emerald leaves. The sky’s stark blue distinctly holds the wispy clouds above where the warmth is portrayed through a concentration of color.
This piece is striking in pigment with an invitation for viewers to connect with the natural world.
