Juan Bastos: California Portraits - Denenberg Fine Arts, West Hollywood, CA Novmeber 4 - 18, 2017

A retrospective of 22 years of the artist's 100-plus California portraits was presented by Denenberg Fine Arts in West Hollywood, California, in early November, 2017. Of the 43 the works in the show, 29 were lent by clients and 14 came from the artist's collection. Four hundred people visited the exhibiton during its two-week run, including many of the subjects of the portraits, with press coverage in Arts Meme, the New York Social Diary , the Beverly Hills Courier (page 12), Century City News, Eden Magazine (page 20), The Gay & Lesbian Review, amongst others.

"When I was offered the opportunity to gather a collection of painted and drawn portraits by Juan Bastos," said gallery owner Stuart Denenberg, "I realized that his portraits from life, fuse memory and culture in an honored tradition to give us a rendering of the emotional truth of specific personalities." "Juan Bastos: California Portraits" was part of the Participating Gallery Program of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles, that ran from September 2017 through January 2018 at more than 70 cultural institutions across Southern California. Pacific Standard Time was an initiative of the Getty.
