GLarri: Gerald Larribas -- the artist

GERALD LARRIBAS artist

A native New Mexican, Gerald Larribas began his artistic career while a student at the University of New Mexico. After ten years researching the unique cultures found only in the diverse border region of the Southwest, Gerald released his Visual Image theme featuring Desperados. Larribas brings these powerful images to life by applying stunning acrylic combinations of southwest color to canvas. The revolutionary design captures the untamed beauty observed only in the Southwestern United States.

The females portrayed represent the beauty and independence of those who inhabit the Southwest. Larribas focuses on the eyes, creating a look of alluring power, and clothing, portraying contemporary fashion with soft western style. This unique combination allows each viewer a personal interpretation of the events that mold these mysterious women.

Larribas is generally considered a Western artist, as his style reflects the dramatic surroundings of his experiences in the Southwest. Gerald is famous for his method of incorporating high fashion with contemporary "soft" western themes. His flowing style manifests the freedom, adventure and glamour of the West. Larribas' art, created in the Western ambiance of his birthplace, exhibits uncluttered lines, open spaces and elegant flair. His versatility transforms simplicity of style into complexity of interpretation.
