Jose Morillo 60"x20" Market Scene 2013 Acrylic on Canvas #23JM-DR

In this market scene, the Dominican artist, José Morillo, was inspired by the neighborhood market with its people, the traditional street vendors, and the merchant women.

He is currently considered the most prominent naive painter in Dominican art and is represented by Myriam Nader Art Gallery in New York. Morillo had several exhibitions in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the U.S, and Colombia at several prestigious art galleries, namely Galeria Nader in the D.R., and art museums such as Museo del Barrio in NY, OAS Museum in Washington; Museo de Las Casas Reales, and Museo of Altagracia in the D.R.; the Museum of Modern Art of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.  José Morillo paints the joy transformed into a light lau
