Opening show's reception was on Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2002 at Gelabert Studios Gallery in New York City. It was a great opening: there was a steady flow of art lovers, critics, family and friends throughout the whole evening. Powerful! Dramatic!, Exciting! and Passionate where some of the words used to describe the works of art exhibited.
This is an artist whose talent shows through in his art work. "His paintings are very powerful" was a quote from one of the writers of Gallery & Studio magazine, Ed McCormick who had written an article on Jose F Rios (Gallery & Studio Nov. – Dec. 2002 Issue).
Jose received many compliments and praise from fellow artist and art lovers who expressed to him how his painting style had matured and improved. Most of the pieces in this show were new and each had its own powerful style that told a story. The first piece that was displayed at the entrance was the second sculptor that Jose has ever created. The first sculptor created by this talented Latino artist was over thirty years ago when he was in Intermediate school 201.
Jose F Rios has taken a huge leap from his prior life's experiences and truly has a story to tell which he does passionately with his brush on canvas. If you are in New York City, you should make it a point to visit Gelabert Studios Gallery and view a few of his new works of art that are still on display at the gallery.
