Press release

(EN) Born in 1967 in Jaén, Spain, working and residing between Granada, Spain, and Berlin, Germany— Santiago Ydáñez approaches painting as a window to the world, directed by the artist’s gaze and hand. His weapons of choice are his paintbrushes and acrylic paint, powerfully rendering his imagery with virtuoso brushstrokes, leaving visible traces of the artist’s gestures. He depicts portraits of animals, genitalia, and faces covered with colored paste, sometimes violently but always ingeniously. His works are marked by accuracy, spontaneity, monumentality, and a certain promiscuity of the image in general in an eclectic contemporary era.

Verduyn Gallery is pleased to welcome you from February 5 until March 19, 2023, on Saturday and Sunday from 14:00 to 18:00 or by appointment.
