Ernesto Cánovas

Spanish artist, Ernesto Cánovas, 1971 in Barcelona employs a multi-layered practice of painting, drawing,printmaking and photography. Cánovas artworks are heavily worked and only realisied through careful contemplation.Exuding an ironic and somewhat discerning sence of obscurity, the subject matter is not always clarified. By combining the vocabularyof Pop Art with sources from old and new media, he successfully produces work that captures snapshots of the present-day, presenting the viewer with a duality from wich the perceived truths are questioned and refashioned.
