Artwork by the Dominican Contemporary artist Juan Luis Portorreal. An oil painting on canvas depicting a portrait of a woman in a blue hat, 1994. Signed and dated lower right. Framed. Juan Luis Portorreal is an 80s Generation artist from Higuey, Dominican Republic. The generation of 1980 marked an extremely fruitful moment for artistic creation, vitally decisive for the reactivation of the imagination in Santo Domingo. Collective Generation 80, coined by Laura Gil, were members of a group of young graduates of the National School of Fine Arts between the late 1970s and early 1970s who revolved almost in unison around the goal of creative freedom, yet separated by multiple goals and ideas. The eighties are the only generation of artists that formed a militant cohesion, defined not as members in a group, but as a collective spirit, where the magical and surreal seem to assert themselves with much greater emphasis than the expressionist. Figurative and abstract, magical, hyperrealistic, and surrealist influence. One of a kind artwork.
