Haven Gallery is honored to present, "Things Doing Things", a mini solo exhibition of eight new paintings by Spanish artist Jesús Aguado. Aguado's paintings are steeped in symbolism and pay homage to historical artworks and traditions. Painted in a classic style, his paintings represent dream worlds, each with a unique narrative and voice. His surreal compositions are a feast for the eyes full of bold colors and a myriad of animals, plants and creatures, blending one world with many others.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jesus Aguado graduated in Fine Arts and started working for different publishing companies. Several years have already passed and what encourages him most to go ahead is the constant search of new styles and ways of expression through drawing. Keen on comic, he's already been awarded in several competitions (Elgoibar, Tomelloso, Portugalete, Salamanca). His illustrations are recognized by many schoolchildren because they appear in a lot of textbooks.
