Landscapes

To José Hortelano-Pi (Murcia, Spain, 1979), the male body is a landscape. Covered in winding trails from the soles of the feet to the back of the head, full of valleys and fertile slopes that spread across the chest, the hands, the face, like sections of a path, like a walk into the thicket... LANDSCAPES is the most recent small eshibition by this young artist, trained in classical drawing. He renders the male figure as if it were a natural haven to take shelter in, under the leafy protection of fur and firm flesh.
