By Jesus Cisneros
Rather than simply illustrating William Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’, Jesús Cisneros offers us a personal, poetic vision of the text through which we hear the voice of the character Ariel. Using the myriad possibilities drawing offers, his universe is one where visible and invisible, reality and dream, intermingle. In the process, the Spanish artist reinvents the infinite number of ways to read this timeless work. Nourished by popular and non-Western art as well as 20th-century avant-gardes, his drawings have the power of spontaneity and the intensity of imagination. Besides commissions and teaching, his research and personal projects have developed into a nuanced aesthetic and laboratory.
