ULYSSES DUTERTE

 August 2025 Postcard from Ulysses Duterte:

Ulysses Duterte sends a postcard that’s marvelous for several reasons! First, it presents one of his accomplished drawings that reveal him to be a superrealist master. Second, he recycles another postcard (from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum) as backing. Third, he integrates on his drawing what I’ve come to consider his trademark vertical line (see the red-orange line in the bottom right corner of drawing) that, while seemingly non-related to the drawn figure serves to deepen the space while introducing a surrealistic opening to a parallel universe (or so this art critic feels 😊 ). You can see other works with his vertical lines at his online exhibition "No Timer, No Countdown." Thanks for this thoughtful postcard, Ulysses!
