Presentation
Jesús Zurita holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Granada, where he lives and works.
The artist from Ceuta has been awarded the Premio de Dibujo de la Academia de Bellas Artes de Granada [Granada Academy of Fine Arts Drawing Prize], the Premio de Dibujo de la Fundación Centenera-Jaraba [Fundación Centenera-Jaraba Drawing Prize] and the Iniciarte Prize, among other awards. He has held individual exhibitions in museums such as the CAAM - Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno [Atlantic Centre of Modern Art] in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the Museo ABC in Madrid, the CAAC - Centro Andaluz de Arte Moderno [Andalusian Contemporary Art Centre] in Sevilla or the Instituto Cervantes in Tokyo. His work is also represented by galleries in Madrid, Mexico or New York, and he is a regular at the best contemporary art fairs.
His large-format compositions on paper prompt a reflection on nature faced with the challenges to human survival in the contemporary world. Plantlike forms and organic representations, with echoes that are close to oriental aesthetics, invade the surface of his proposals and beget waterfalls, roots, stems or branches that twist and turn introducing an dreamlike dimension of a dramatic nature. His disturbing forests bring about oppositions between the natural and the artificial, the organic and the inorganic, life and death, which are deeply unsettling, as they bring us closer to the final stage of a plant life close to decomposition.
