JESUS GASTELL
Unpack Studio is pleased to present an exhibition of drawings by master draftsman Jesus Gastell.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue with an essay written by international curator Dannys Montes de Oca Moreda.
Jesus Gastell is a
mid-career artist who lives and works in Cuba. Gastell earned a BFA from
Escuela Nacional de Artes (ENA 1983) and graduated from the prestigious
Instituto Superior de Artes (ISA 1988) in Havana with a degree in Drawing
and Painting.
Instead of only
establishing himself as a master of representation, Jesus Gastell uses his
extraordinary abilities to reveal the hidden connections between "the
real" and our cultural perception of it. His artwork operates as
a continuous exercise of questioning models, assuming the nature of
intellectual pleasure as an illuminating experience. He has exhibited
widely in Cuba and internationally. His work is represented in collections
in Canada, England, Holland, China, Germany, Spain, Peru, Italy, Japan, Cuba
and the USA.
