Juan Francisco Casas
Bio
Juan Francisco Casas was born in Jaén (Spain) in 1976. He lives and works in Madrid. The hyperrealistic work of Casas is based on photographic shots of the events of his day-to-day life. The artist portrays a ludic world marked by endless parties, surrounded by his friends and girlfriends, where one perceives an exaltation of hedonism and carpe diem that has influenced an entire generation of young millennials whose life is overexposed in social networks.
Statement
Inaugurated at the end of 2001, the Fernando Pradilla Gallery aims to promote and disseminate contemporary art that takes place in Latin America and Spain, acting as a bridge of knowledge of artistic expressions from both continents.
Since its inception, the strategy has been based on the identification of artists, both emerging, mid-career and historical, and on the programming of individual and collective exhibitions in Madrid and other Latin American cities. The gallery participates in international art fairs in Latin America, Asia, Europe, and promotes the representation of its artists in biennials, awards, competitions, and exhibitions in national and international art centers.
