JAVIER LEÓN PÉREZ, (Seville, 1977). S/T #05, 2016. Series "Vernácula ordinationis". Bas-relief-collage of Japanese paper on canvas mounted on board protected with methacrylate urn. Unique piece. Protected by a methacrylate urn. Measurements: 81 x 61 x 11 cm. Trained at the School of Arts and Crafts in Seville and at the University of Fine Arts in the same city, the artist Javier León develops an almost meditative creative process by means of which he studies and works the landscape genre in an abstract way, elaborating spaces external to reality. The work processes followed by the artist contain a certain component of randomness where the stages of construction and growth seek a naturalness that, despite responding to a logic that emanates from the work itself, find a correlation with systems and organisations that occur in nature or in the cosmos. Both his pictorial work and his three-dimensional work made with Japanese paper and his bronze sculptures are closely related, as they are closely related to each other. His work has been exhibited in many national and international contemporary art galleries, including the Spanish AJG Gallery (Seville), the Dutch Judy Straten Gallerie (Hors) and the Portuguese Trema Arte Contemporânea (Lisbon). He has also participated in various fairs such as Arte Lisboa Art Fair (Lisbon), Swab Arte Contemporáneo (Barcelona), CASA//ARTE (Madrid), Liste Coln (Cologne), PAM (Amsterdam), Kinitting And Stitching Show Art Fair (London). Within the Contemporary Art Biennials section, Javier León's work, made on Japanese paper, has been exhibited and recognised at the Biennial Paper of Contemporary Art held at the Rijswijk Museum (Holland), and awarded at the Biennial of Contemporary Art of Lalin (Pontevedra, Spain). Some of his works are part of collections such as the Valentín de Madariaga Foundation (Seville), International University of Andalusia, DEARTE Collection (Soria, Spain), CAIXA Foundation Collection, ABANCA Art Collection and collections of different public institutions in Spain.
