Group of Girls at the Dance Party
About this artwork
A group of girls dance together at a party, having fun and smiling. The many lines of the outfits and dance hall create energy and rhythm in the scene. Part of Javier's long running series of people enjoying everyday activities, painted from his imagination without any visual references. He starts with a single sketch to determine the composition and then begins drawing, with most of the colors already mapped out in his head. It is an important moment, Javier explains, getting the colors right is crucial to achieve balance.Measurements are for the full size paper 27.55 x 39.37, and the approximate painted area is 20.8 x 33. Under the painted area in the right corner in pencil is the title of the work in Spanish, Grupo de chicas en el baile, the signature and the year in two digits (10). It is also signed on the back.
