**Originally Listed At $900**
Roseta Santiago (American, b. 1946). "Thanksgiving" - oil on linen, ca. 2015. Signed by artist on lower right. "Thanksgiving o/linen R. Santiago 16x20" written in red on the verso. A striking still-life by artist Roseta Santiago featuring several ears of Indian corn (or flint corn) with kernels and a bowl arranged upon a tabletop that is covered with deer or buffalo hide. Santiago's command of tenebroso - a Baroque innovation in representing light to capture strong light and dark contrasts - is evident as the light shines upon the objects and creates striking shadow effects. The ensemble of objects - Indian corn, pottery, and buffalo or deer hide - speaks to the history of New Mexico and the indigenous of the Southwest. According to the Autry Museum of the American West's description of Roseta Santiago's oeuvre, "She paints the beauty and integrity surrounding each of her subjects—usually objects that have been made by hand with primitive tools and resources—and is a master storyteller about the images she paints." Size: 19.25" W x 15.4" H (48.9 cm x 39.1 cm); (frame): 24.625" W x 20.625" H (62.5 cm x 52.4 cm)
The Autry Museum of the American West's complete artist biography reads, "Roseta Santiago was born and raised in Washington, D.C., where she studied graphic design and advertising. In 1976 she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, and then to Miami, Florida, spending twenty-four years designing, installing, and building themed public spaces. She was also contracted to paint murals in twenty-three Bass Pro Shops’ premier sporting goods stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica. In 2000, after moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico, Santiago realized her dream of becoming a fine art painter. Self-taught, she paints every day.
Mystery and light engulf the unique Western and Asian artifacts that are the subjects of her early body of work. She paints the beauty and integrity surrounding each of her subjects—usually objects that have been made by hand with primitive tools and resources—and is a master storyteller about the images she paints. Her current body of work expresses feelings and stories about the people who made these objects. 'Traditional peoples are fascinating to me; their beliefs, regalia, ceremonies, and day-to-day life.'
Recognized and collected internationally, Santiago’s work may be found in the permanent collections of the Tucson Museum of Art, the Booth Museum of Western Art, and many private collections. She has successfully exhibited for nine years at the Eiteljorg’s Quest for the West Art Show and Sale; the Taos Museum–Fechin House in Taos, New Mexico; the Desert Caballeros Western Museum’s Cowgirl Up! show; the Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale, and Settlers West’s American Miniatures exhibition."
Santiago is also a featured artist in the book "Western Art of the Twenty-first Century: Native Americans" by E. Ashley Rooney. You can read more about her in, "Conversations in Paint Language: The Art of Roseta Santiago."
Provenance: private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection, acquired directly from artist Roseta Santiago
