Juan Genoves

This Spanish artist (b. 1930- ) creates paintings as a way to interpret memories and events in his past- and the political events that shaped Spain.
Images of individuals and groups of people show up in his work. The viewer sees them as small figures, far away and below eye level. Upon close inspection his paintings transform from photographic images into abstract paintings with texture and thick paint.
Be sure to visit his website to view the videos about his work.
