Juan Jesús Dueñas Ruíz is a young artist who nevertheless has a great career behind him. He has participated in international biennials, solo and group exhibitions. Institutions such as Calcografía Nacional and the National Library already have his work among their funds. He focuses his activity on the original print and on paintings where technical and expressive experimentation take center stage.
The works chosen for this exhibition are a sample of the most abstract and emotional aspect. Color (or its absence), combined with the expression of the line, intuition and chance, full of nuances and contrasts, and endows the pieces with a great power of attraction, with a very material result, transporting us to close references such as Saura or Chillida.
With "Suggestions" we want the viewer to face the work with a direct and free gaze, letting the image be the starting point in the story or the meaning that they must construct, if they want, with their experiences and references. "Suggestions" aims to evoke, awaken sensations.
