Jorge Patrón

Jorge Patrón (Mérida, 1986) uses cement, collage and acrylic on canvas in a mixed technique that allows him to experiment with visual citations of the urban language such as graffiti, stencil, painted or glued advertisements, propaganda murals, advertisements and brand logos, and the characters of Mexican popular culture, from the famous masked men of wrestling to the comedian Capulina or the Virgin of Guadalupe. All this dialogues on his surfaces with thick drippings, bulging reliefs, spellings and sign elements that acquire a new meaning (aesthetic, contextual) in the abstract territory of the surfaces of his canvases, classics already today, when we know that abstraction has achieved more than a century of life.
