Description

"CEESEPE"; CARLOS SÁNCHEZ PÉREZ (Madrid, 1958). Untitled. Mixed media with collage on paper. Signed in the right central margin. Measurements: 46 x 34 cm; 66 x 52 cm (frame). A key figure of the Movida madrileña, Ceesepe dabbled in surrealism in his mature stage. This oneiric landscape with a circus figure or lion tamer is an example of this. Painter, illustrator and cartoonist, Ceesepe was one of the protagonists of the Movida madrileña, and began his career in the world of underground comics in the mid-seventies in Barcelona, in contact with Max, Nazario and Mariscal, among others. He published comics in the magazines "Star" and "Bésame mucho", and in 1980 he made the poster for Almodóvar's "Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón". In 1982 an exhibition was dedicated to him at the Menéndez Pelayo University, and two years later he became one of the best-selling authors at ARCO. Some time later he left the comic and focused on painting, exhibiting his work in Madrid, Amsterdam, Paris, Geneva and New York, among other cities. His work has been collected in books such as "El difícil arte de mentir", "París-Madrid", "Libro blanco" or "El arte de morir", and in 2011 the Spanish Council of Ministers awarded him the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts. Ceesepe is currently represented in several private collections, as well as in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Madrid, the Ateneo of the same city, etc.
