Jesús Crespo (Madrid, Spain 1989) makes paintings that explore the dynamic relationships between metamorphosis, dissolution and extrapolation of thoughts. In his paintings, he combines multiple perspectives to create new and ambiguous spaces where perception and discovery merge through play.
The result is a body of work that pushes the boundaries of painting and opens new possibilities for understanding the image and the random meaning of abstraction, using concepts such as pareidolia. That’s why Crespo’s paintings often play with ambiguity, inviting viewers to interact with his work on multiple levels to decide for themselves.
Through his use of gestures and his lubricated canvases, he creates an immersive experience that blurs the lines between what we think we see and what really see.
