Jesús de Miguel
Palencia, 1975
Spanish painter based in Ibiza, close to the neo-expressionist movement, known above all for his painting but with a multidisciplinary approach.
He graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca in 1999 after studying the Anthropology of Art and Creative Processes at the same university. In 2000 he launched his own record label, Modern Electrics, with his partner Al Velilla, releasing work by electronic music artists such as Nacho Marco, Jay Tripwire and Kiko Navarro.
His many facets range from sculpture to music, 3D animation, video art and installations, with styles drawn from Dadaism, comics, punk, collage and even prehistoric cave painting. Allen Jones, the celebrated British artist and member of the Royal Academy of Arts, said of Jesús de Miguel after visiting his 2015 exhibition at Think Creative Hub: “He is an artist who uses the different registers of painting in an exceptional way. It is very difficult to put on such a large solo exhibition that is at the same time so consistent and complete. Bravo!”
