TREASURES FOR THE FUTURE. EDITION 2014
Jorge JURADO. Colombia The images shown during the exhibition are a small part of Jurado’s most recent one-man show called, Imagined Memories (Jan – March 2014). The exhibition took place at the historical Saint Peter Claver Monastery in Cartagena, and reflects upon his earliest memories as a child in his Caribbean hometown of Cartagena. Almost throughout his whole artistic career, Jurado has consistently juxtaposed contrasting compositions in order to create a dialogue within his works. He is strongly attracted to the world of comic books, as well as to the colours of pop art. Jurado first studied economics due to family pressure and then at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de Cartagena (1982 - 1985). He moved to N.Y. and studied drawing at the art Students League. He has had 16 one-man shows and has taken part in numerous national and international group exhibitions. In Germany he was exhibited twice at Galerie Ruta Correa in Freiburg (2001 and 2005). His works are in private collections in Colombia, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, France, Spain and is mostly collected in Germany.
