Introducing Claudio Duran as Part of "Gifted" Exhibit

"Pompous Elephant"
8" x 10"
Acrylic on Panel

We ran across Duran's work when we were over at the Artist & Craftsman picking up supplies. The bright color pallete, the mix of folk art with contemporary, and sharp lines really caught our eyes. He also had a great collection of small works that we thought would be perfect to bring to the gallery for our "Gifted" exhibition. Duran is one of three new artists that we have brought in for this particular show. And we hope that you enjoy his work as much as we do...
