Call Him “The People’s Artistâ€
World Renown Jersey City Artist gives Back to the Community
The River View Observer first met artist Duda Penteado 10 years ago when he was involved with opening the now established Hope Center Arts Academy of Jersey City.
What was evident while interviewing him back then was his unwavering commitment to that project, and how he felt it would benefit the community.
Throughout his career this talented, and gifted artist has never lost sight of that belief; that art, benefits the community.
   For over a decade Duda Penteado has done extensive community
work utilizing the arts, both in the New York Metro Area, and abroad, and that is why there are many who feel Penteado should be called “The People’s Artistâ€.
 The River View Observer is committed to the Arts. As part of an on going program to feature the art work of “Emerging Artists” this month in our Art Views section in both our print and online Publications we feature Lorenzo Pickett, a 23 year old artist who works in Acrylic, and Airbrushing.
He goes under the name of LP and if you wish to reach the artist he can be contacted at: [email protected]
