José Andreu • In the Water, 2018 Woodcut

Jose Agustin Andreu’s personal and poetic imagery is a contemporary marriage of surrealism, expressionism with an Eastern philosophy and a Puerto Rican soul. As well as recreating historical masterpieces, Jose makes paintings, prints, mosaics, murals and sculpture. The work is a meditation on memory, language, and interconnectedness and documents the morphology of identity. It uses structures that reflect abstract ideas about space, form, and illusion.
