ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Framed Dimensions: 87 x 104 X 6 cm Wooden black box frame with antique gold leaf finish. Artworks sometimes represent tales. Short stories. Thoughts and ideas. They use the power of the visual image to ignite imaginations, amuse and evoke emotions. The viewer complete those stories and visual expressions with its contemplation. The language in the artworks combines a symbolic narrative full of pop culture references. Iconic cinema and video game characters, influential public figures or recognizable symbols in history. Icons that elevate into a some kind of contemporary religion using pictorial resources retrieved from classical paintings. It is a dialogue between the viewer and the artwork in a language that doesn’t need to be learned. This artwork is painted on café crème cigarette boxes mounted on wood. The boxes are carefully glued together on wood like a mosaic tile mesh and treated as a ceramic wall tile. After this process, a mixed media of oil painting, acrylic, spray paint and ink is applied. High gloss epoxy resin finish. The painting is inspired on the art of seduction.

José Luis Ferragut was born in Valencia in 1969, although very soon he moved to Madrid. He works as a commercial director and artist. After studying Communication Design at the prestigious Parsons School of Design of New York, he started his career in Paris as an Art Director. He returned to Spain later on and worked as Creative for more than a decade in different advertising agencies before making the transition into directing. He has received numerous awards and distinctions over the years, including best director at APCP and more recently, a Bronze Lion at Cannes Festival. Painting has accompanied him throughout his whole creative career. The language in his works combines a symbolic narrative full of pop culture references, with a very refined pictorial technique. With his paintings, Ferragut always plays with perceptions that go beyond the artwork to become sensation and emotion, inviting the viewer to join a dialogue that will not leave him indifferent. His last solo exhibition "Linking Words" took place in The Cultural Center Anabel Segura in Madrid.
