"Art is the physical residue of an internal event—a dialogue between structure, gesture, and memory."
Juanjo Ortubia is a contemporary Spanish painter and master printmaker whose work sits at the compelling intersection of visceral Abstract Expressionism, conceptual text-based art, and experimental graphic series. With a career spanning over a decade, his artistic evolution is an unyielding quest for emotional honesty through raw materiality.
