Quang Ho,Flowering Quince
Through November 30, you can stop by Gallery 1261 and see an amazing show of solo work by Quang Ho. Quang, if you're unaware, is a freaking fantastic painter. I picked this painting of a quince tree as my favorite from the show (it might just be my favorite one of fruit, but I'm a sucker for greens on greens and I love the plastic bucket). Is it a reference to Antonio Lopez Garcia? Who cares... it's awesome. I wanted to touch my face to this painting (I did not).
Something that many members of the public may be unaware of: Quang Ho is also a good guy. I've seen people who are bad, greedy and unfeeling become successful. You can papier-mâché stinky garbage with money if you want, but it will still stink. Quang is a sweet person who loves what he does, and he's successful but also humble. Additionally, he gives good hugs. So two things: 1) Go see these paintings and 2) Good guys do still win (your results may vary).
