Rafael Rosario Laguna’s Painting

"La Que Todos Quieren" by Rafael Rosario Laguna

So, Julius and I have a new painting coming to our house, this Saturday!

Last Sunday, we went to the closing party of our friend Rafael Rosario Laguna’s studio in DUMBO. He’s moving to a studio at the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center on the Lower East Side (107 Suffolk Street @ corner of Rivington).

That night, Julius bought Rafael’s La Que Todos Quieren (“The One Everyone Wants”). Here we see a Heronymous Bosch-like depiction of a milk-giving cow being tugged in all directions. Cows are a principal subject in Rafael’s work. I don’t know why exactly, but it’s dead-sexy – and I’m not even all that into cows…

He’s got a whole portfolio of work at http://www.rosariolaguna.com. I urge you to log on!
