RAULCERRILLO EXIBITIONS
Raul Cerrillo (Mexico City B.1977) is a multidisciplinary artist primarily known for his large-scale thick energetic paintings. He focused on finding and creating new paradigms for understanding the mystery of our past mother ancestral cultures with the future of our contemporary technological era. His work transits from a neo-baroque figuration to a visceral and immediate neo-expressionist abstraction with the consistency of distinctive simple archetypal symbols creating a subjective narrative for the spectator. He conceives his work with vast layers of paint and meaning as his way of understanding the conformation of individuality and life itself through layers and layers of experience as a consequence of Raul´s body of work reveals a tremendous amount of evolution in practically all aspects of his craft: style, medium, composition, and subject matter.
In Mexico City, Cerrillo trained at the National School of Art “La Esmeralda” (where Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera taught) He has had individual shows in most of the major cities in Mexico, and his work has been part of collective exhibitions in Austin, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Barcelona, Milan, Paris, Venice, and London. His paintings have been awarded numerous grants and awards, as well as honorable mentions. In 2018 he received the Mexican National Award for Painting “Alfredo Zalce.” in Mexico.
