ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Moñú’s work revolves primarily around the portrait. His solitary characters reflect an individual’s loneliness when facing society. They are isolated, deformed, horrified figures that evoke the Baconian works’ themes. They belong to the information society, the burnout society (Byung-Chul Han, 1959 Seoul), where everything is hurried, where the ability to slow down is lost and only consumption, of whatever, matters. Moñú’s characters represent our society’s time crisis, coupled with a lack of contemplative life and hyperactivity. The faces or organic parts are disfigured, torn, by the incessant flow of information; time is atomized, there is no stability, everything is movement. Our brains get sick and society becomes barbaric. All of this contrasts with the non-organic areas of his paintings: clothes, objects, texts, which Moñú defines with a perfect drawing.

José Moñú (1981) is a Spanish plastic artist, who stands out for his particular and great universe. In his words: "the limits of my language are the limits of my world; art is my way of life" the philosophy of Wittgenstein (Vienna 1889-1951) and Wollheim (London 1923-2003) echoes. His artistic journey began in his hometown, Zaragoza, in 2007. He was soon considered a young promise and he exhibited his works in institutional rooms and galleries in Zaragoza and Aragon. Critics saw in him an original artist with a great future. Since the beginning, he has been very present in his region’s specialized media. The gallery Fernando Latorre, from Madrid, introduced him to the best international art fairs, exhibiting his work in Hot Art Bassel (2010), Art Berlin (2010) and Art Madrid (since 2009). Several galleries bet on him: Cristina Marín (Zaragoza), Pilar Ginés (Zaragoza), Fernando Latorre (Madrid), Gallery 3 punts (Barcelona) and even, after a long stay in Berlin, he along with other artists decided to open a new space for art in Barcelona, the Hans & Fritz Contemporary Gallery (2015). His most recent exhibitions have been in the Gallery 3 punts in Barcelona and in the Cristina Marín Gallery in Zaragoza, both in 2016, as well as in the MIZ Corner and in the Kafell Gallery in Zaragoza, in 2017. In 2018 he exhibited in the Fernando Latorre Gallery in Marbella and in the Matadero (AVAM) in Madrid, as well as in several group exhibitions.
