Jeronimo Elespe: Paintings

A younger artist, Jeronimo Elespe paints on extremely small aluminum panels, sometimes less than one- inch square, in a loosely realistic hand. His imagery is of the most ordinary of scenes but, with the artist’s eye towards a sequential arrangement, the works collectively become the equivalent of poetic thought-impressions, leaving the gaps in "reading" to the viewer’s imagination.

Jeronimo Elespe was born in Madrid in 1975, and lives and works in New York. He received his MFA from Yale University in 2001 and is represented by Von Lintel Gallery, New York. In collaboration with the artist, a catalogue will be published by the University Gallery during the fall semester, 2004.
