JORGE SANTOS MARCOS
THE ARTIST JORGE SANTOS WAS BORN IN HAVANA, CUBA, IN 1973. HE STUDIED AT THE SAN ALEJANDRO ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS FROM 2000 TO 2004. SANTOS' WORK HAS BEEN EXHIBITED EXTENSIVELY FOR OVER FIFTEEN YEARS IN SOLO AND GROUP EXHIBITIONS, INCLUDING THE “EXTRAVAGANZA”, ZURICH (SWITZERLAND), THE BIENNALE IN HAVANA, (CUBA), SPECTRUM MIAMI, AND THE AMERICAS COLLECTION. HE CURRENTLY LIVES AND WORKS IN MIAMI, FLORIDA.
MARCOS TREATS THE CANVAS AND PAPER AS A VEHICLE OF EXPRESSION, ALLOWING HIS WORK TO CONVEY HIS INNER THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS, AND EXPERIENCES. OFTEN, HIS WORKS FEATURE VARIOUS BEINGS - RESEMBLING ANTHROPOLOGICAL FIGURES – AN EXERCISE IN BODY PERCEPTION AND DISPLAY OF RAW EMOTION. THESE SUSPENDED BEINGS HERALD A MODERN ICONOCLASM OF UNPARALLELED EMOTIONAL INTENSITY BY EVOKING A REMINISCENCE OF THE DIVINE IN THE HUMAN FIGURATION.
