Jesús Crespo

Lubricious, elusive, vibrant. Jesús Crespo understands painting as a living organism. Heartbeat and pulse. Systole and diastole. Membrane and flow. Like a series in continuous transformation, the pieces of the Lub series slip through the gaze in a perpetuum mutabile.

Paintings born in the middle of the night, when dreams become strange figurations and nightmares turn into unfamiliar calligraphies. Gesture and desire lubricate the gaze. It’s not about acts of rupture but rather about seeking new continuities.

A perpetual flow. A continuous change of gesture. A hand that slides and paves the way for the gaze. There, where the painting becomes lubricious. There, where interpretation becomes elusive. There, where the known ends and possibility begins.
