La Patasola in North Bergen New Jersey – Original Art – Watercolor and Pen

Kenny Velez — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 01:38:55 +0000

La Patasola is a legend of Colombian folklore. A one legged creature which lures men into the woods disguised or transformed as an attractive women. In wanting to keep most of my art local to my community in Northern Hudson County, I placed this figure in James J Braddock Park in North Bergen, NJ. I also couldn't help but lean into Weird NJ with the famous UFO magnet, the Stonehenge building in the background.

Milkshake Maid Print

Kenny Velez — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 04:02:07 +0000

Not really a maid but a Union City, NJ restaurant worker. The name is taken by the piece that this was inspired/copied from, Johannes Vermeer's The Milkmaid. When I first started this watercolor series of Union City illustrations I based the first one on a Caravaggio, so after a few original pieces I went back to the masters for this one. -Kenny Velez

Man in Front of Union City Botanica • Artwork T-Shirt

Kenny Velez — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 01:16:19 +0000

Botanicas for me are a vestige of the old Union City, NJ, when it was still Havana on the Hudson. Here, in contrast stands a man modeled after a Central American day laborer. He represent the new wave of immigration. After the Cubans and South Americans, came the Mexicans and Central Americans. Now the botanicas have started to adapt, and next to Changó you’ll find the Santa Muerte. -Kenny Velez
