Jesús Aguado , "Dramarama"

Haven Gallery is pleased to present, “Dramarama”, a solo exhibition of nine new paintings by Spanish artist Jesús Aguado. “Dramarama” is Aguado’s fifth exhibition at the gallery and features his dynamically expressive, chimeric characters in surrealistically playful narratives. Historical techniques coalesce with comics, with a penchant for spectacle, to create hyperactive environments that captivate the viewer, immersing them into a world that is both strange yet exuberant. Aguado’s imagination and impressive technique shape a world exceeding our wildest dreams leaving the spirit of his viewers forever more blithesome. ABOUT THE ARTIST Jesus Aguado graduated in Fine Arts and started working for different publishing companies. Several years have already passed and what encourages him most to go ahead is the constant search of new styles and ways of expression through drawing. Keen on comic, he’s already been awarded in several competitions (Elgoibar, Tomelloso, Portugalete, Salamanca). His illustrations are recognized by many schoolchildren because they appear in a lot of textbooks. Among other publishing companies, he collaborates with Anaya, Edelvives, Santillana, Siruela, Vicens Vives, Baula, Bruño, Casals, Kumon, Grimm Press (Taiwan) He has also worked for Junta de Castilla y León and Ser Padres Hoy magazine.
