Miguel Relego<br />
Miguel Relego makes an appealing connection between painting and jazz, for although<br />
painting is an ancient culture and jazz much more recent, it’s a subject that is frequently<br />
portrayed.Using ei<strong>the</strong>r black and white or strong, warm colours, Miguel turns <strong>the</strong> pleasure<br />
<strong>of</strong> jazz music into a visual delight. Improvisation is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> key elements which define<br />
jazz, something which this painter also enjoys, albeit through controlled drawing and<br />
brush strokes. The atmosphere that Miguel Relego lends to this <strong>the</strong>me is like that which<br />
jazz gives to <strong>the</strong> listener. It’s almost as though we can hear <strong>the</strong> notes played by <strong>the</strong> jazz<br />
musicians working as stevedores in <strong>the</strong> old ports <strong>of</strong> New Orleans.<br />
