Situated firmly in the abstract camp, José’s work is reminiscent of the Abstract Expressionists of New York City, with influences such as Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock.
‘ Los Cuatro Mosqueteros’ were a big part of the Ecuadorian art movement. For three years they clarified ideas and concepts and learned how to challenge each other. They created a new way of seeing art and became well known art celebrities in South America.
In 1969 José was instrumental in transforming Ecuadorian artistic modernity by presenting the “Anti-Salon,” with ‘ Los Cuatro Mosqueteros,’ a group of which he is still a part of today. This seminal show earned him a place in Ecuador’s art history.
After living and painting in Colombia in the 1970’s and then moving to Canada, José exhibited with Christopher Cutts Gallery in Toronto in the 1980’s and 1990’s, appearing alongside the better-known Ray Mead of the Painters Eleven.
