ABOUT THE WORK
"The Flea" is what I would consider effortless, but at the same time, it is not. In how much the drawing is very straightforward, its features are more clear and color has a lot to do with that. It belongs to the series of heads.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
The Venezuelan Carlos Manrique lives and works for many years in Cologne. His world of pictures and objects always remained determined by the impressions and experiences of his homeland. Drawing patterns look like living, enlarged little creatures, Masks dance on his canvases and mythologize each of his pictures. Manrique moves on the fine line of the symbiosis of art and ethnology.
