Descripción de la Exposición

Van Doren Waxter is very pleased to announce Jeronimo Elespe: Woodcuts, Etchings and Monotypes, an exhibition of new prints on view at the gallery’s 1907 townhouse at 23 East 73rd Street from July 9 - August 23, 2024. On view will be two suites of never before seen monoprints. Celebrated for his dreamlike, optically charged paintings, printmaking has always been a vital part of Madrid-based Spanish artist, Elespe’s practice. Elespe works with master print maker Dan Benveniste of Benveniste Contemporary in Madrid. Both suites of monoprints from 2020 and 2024 were created through a similar experimental process. Involving initially two images in each of the sets, they were later on expanded through months of work, added on, subtracted and combined with a number of other copper plates in some cases, woodcuts and monotypes in others, and finally converging in these two groups (all of them consisting of unique prints). “Just as it happened in the 2020 series, these complex process of working with printmaking was an unexpected match to the initial aim, to pick up stories and conversations often destined to be ignored and misinterpreted and slowly transform them into a cycle of new narratives, that given the chance probably would go through the same process again.” -Jeronimo Elespe About the Artist Jeronimo Elespe was born 1975 in Madrid, where he currently lives and works. He was educated at Yale, CT (MFA) and The School of Visual Arts, NY (BFA).
