At the young age of 28, Raphael Delgado embodies the growth and maturity of Chicano/Latino art in Sacramento. Appropriately, Sacramento’s La Raza Galería Posada announces his first solo gallery exhibition in his home city titled "What Is This Thing Called Love? Interpretations by Raphael Delgado.
The annual theme has regularly featured Sacramento’s own Royal Chicano Air Force (RCAF) artists and Chicano artists from the Bay Area. La Raza Galería Posada grew out of the famous art/activist Chicano Movement beginning in the late 60s. Esteemed RCAF artist, Esteban Villa, has dubbed Delgado "The Artist of Change." Says Villa, ‘His art is about life that is in constant change, the only absolute there is."
Mature and powerful in every diverse style and medium he chooses, Delgado is most recognized for the muscular cubist qualities in his abstract-expressionist art. He uses rich, organic earth tones with splashes of vibrant colors in the geometric aspects applied to the human figure. Oils and acrylics on canvas are his main mediums. Thirty pieces will be featured in both gallery rooms.
Delgado paints constantly he says "to capture and transcribe my daily thoughts for that day. My family’s faces are used as a constant reference. The daily news creates the mood that influences my color choices and subject matter. At times, the painting can be bright and energetic, filled with love and movement. At other times the painting is dark and nocturnal, tensioned-filled. Life is a constantly changing and evolving environment, so I believe my artwork should be too."
