Juan Uslé

Spain, 1954

GALERÍA SIBONEY

Uslé has lived and worked between Spain and New York since 1987 and is considered a generational benchmark with work spanning more than four decades. His painting goes beyond the limits of illusionism and the metaphorical to make a synthetic and substantial representation of reality.
Through memory and photography, which he uses as a record of his experiences, the artist proposes an evocation of his life by deconstructing any figurative reference and giving all importance to the pictorial and chromatic aspect.
The first works with the generic title of SQR (‘Soñé que revelabas’) emerged in 2003. The drawings that are exhibited in DRL –which function as notes or proofs– are considered autonomous works but could also be considered proofs for later works, his series of large format paintings.
