Press Release

Galerie Chantal Crousel is pleased to present a selection of works by the artist José María Sicilia at Gallery Weekend Beijing.

José María Sicilia is one of the most significant representatives of Spanish painting emerging in the 1980s with a young generation of artists interested in materiality in painting. His works deal with the relations of beings to one another and to their physical surroundings and thus draw what João Fernandes calls an ‘ecology of the world,’ as an endeavor to unravel the mysteries of our universe.

The title of his latest series, ‘Ninfosis’, is revelatory. Describing the transformation process of an insect into a nymph, it also defines Sicilia’s pictorial oeuvre: works which carry an inner energy, a mysterious and beautiful life of their own.

About the Artist

José Maria Sicilia has always been deeply sensitive to nature, and has devoted much of his career to question immaterial space between art and life, between Eros and Thanatos. Beyond their immediate and disturbing beauty, the works of José Maria Sicilia transpose us in frontier territories, where the familiar becomes strange and where memory is ‘mise en abîme.’
