oil on metal
6 x 30 in.

Rico Solinas was born in Oakland, California, in 1954. After studying at the Corcoran School of Art, Washington, D.C. in 1970-72, he received a B.A. in art from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1977 and an M.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1988. Solinas's figurative and landscape paintings and prints have been exhibited in Ecuador, Mexico, and California. In 1987-88 he painted a series of landscapes with trucks on saw blades, playing against the bucolic images most often associated with the genre of saw painting.
