Jeronimo Elespe Exhibition
Eleven Rivington
This event has ended.
Elespe's recent body of work - his most intimate and autobiographical to date - represents a focused meditation on the home and studio. Tiny, meticulous brushstrokes encrusted upon aluminum panel reveal bleary spaces and figures culled exclusively from the artist's memory and immediate surroundings. Developed over a period of months or even years, each gem-like panel is a palimpsest, dense with the history of its making. Traces of Spanish Baroque's luminosity and the aureoles of sacred art permeate the work; Elespe's grainy, retinal brushstrokes suggest a world as if seen upon waking. Intimate and diaristic in scale and content, Elespe's paintings ponder the cyclical nature of the domestic, its various narrative arcs - real and fictional.
Elespe was born in Madrid in 1975, where he currently lives and works, and was educated at Yale University (MFA) and School of Visual Arts (BFA).
