Pablo Casado - Featured Spanish Artist - February 2010

March 3, 2010 - PRLog -- I am so happy to introduce to you the work of Pablo Casado. Those of you out there who understand and appreciate personal, straightforward, elegant artwork will find Casado’s  work extraordinarily compelling.

Casado, considered by some an enfant terrible of contemporary Spanish art, possesses the ability to move between the irreverent and the sacred with ease and flair. Some of his work is quiet and refined. Some of it is sharp and bittersweet. Regardless, it is all beautiful.

Pablo Casado is ArtHaus66 Contemporary's featured Spanish artist ( http://www.arthaus66.com/events.html ) of the month.

Casado was born in 1968 in the northern city of Burgos. This is an area of Spain in which climatic extremes are endured by people endowed with uncommon resilience and a no nonsense approach to life. Perhaps this is the source of the solidity, the sincerity that permeates Casado’s work regardless of subject matter or chosen medium.

His interests span a variety of techniques that he seems to feel perfectly comfortable with: aquatint, silkscreen, collage, painting and even photography. His themes are also exceptionally diverse from very candid self portraits, to adorable portraits of children, furtive snapshots of city dogs and cats and the most engaging, tantalizing of abstraction.

Throughout, Casado demonstrates the ability to excel technically. His images are crisp, inimitable and most beautiful to behold. Furthermore, Casado remains at the very forefront of contemporary art in Spain today.

His vision articulates the basic tenants of modernism with elegance and intelligence. It establishes an eloquent dialogue between the artist and the viewer in an effort to innovate and grow by means of exploring universal themes such as identity, environment, irony and life’s bitter lessons.

Casado is above all an ardent observer of human nature. He encapsulates his interpretations in extraordinarily intense images that surprise with their simple beauty. He watches his surroundings with a keen eye and a heart capable of immense tenderness.

I am certain that once you have discovered his work and become familiar with his style, you will not forget Pablo Casado. He is, without a doubt, a contemporary Spanish artist not to be missed.
