"Untitled"  40" x 24"  1999  By Jose G.




"Untitled"  40" x 24"  1999

By Jose G.

Jose G. an aspiring twenty-year-old baseball player in Puerto Rico, was paralyzed as a result of a gunshot wound in the back.  With his condition deteriorating, he was brought to the United States and subsequently to Northeast Center for Special Care for rehabilitation.

He speaks Spanish and learned a little English.  The Art Studio becomes a more common territory where visual communication reigns supreme over oral expression.  Jose plugged into this ambiance and organized a painting with twelve individual components.  He took to this task enthusiastically creating the painting shown here.  Jose was discharged from Northeast Center for Special Care and now resides in New York City
