    Can anyone tell me about this artist?
    What is it painted on?
    Is this gauche painting?
    It almost looks like seaweed or whatever they use to make sushi (stop laughing)!
    Thanks for any help - & happy holidays!

    Contemporary of, or influenced by, Erté I would guess.

    I could be wrong, but parts of it could have been airbrushed. You can see what looks like over spray and other positive marks that have a fuzzy appearance, indicative of an airbrush stroke (the horizontal black bands).

    Rafael Acevedo was a Miami based artist from Argentina. He used some type of oven to get the texture you referred to in the question.
