Mixing media and languages.
Jesús Andrés, based in Bristol (UK), was born in Spain.
He navigates a sea of sounds and signs, translating them into drawings and painting. He takes his references from music, literature, mass media and everyday life. He dismisses boundaries between genres using paint for drawing and pencils for painting.
