Fatima Ronquillo is the
hottest young artist coming out of the influential Santa Fe, New Mexico, art
scene. This is the first book of her work.
Ronquillo is self-taught
but paints with the hand of an Old Master and bases her paintings on classic
themes and symbols from Europe, Mexico and the Southwestern United States, and
from her native Philippines.
Collectors (she sells out
every show despite being very prolific) admire not only her painterly technique
but also the sly wit and humour in her work.
Her work has been featured
recently in Red Milk and The Cut magazines as well as in an
exclusive magazine/catalogue produced by Gucci.
Introduction by John
O'Hern, the Santa Fe columnist and critic of American Art Collector magazine.
