Jesús Moreno Yes Explores Figure and Ground at La Cristalería, Madrid
Jesús Moreno Yes, a Madrid-born artist born in 1991, will showcase FIGURA / FONDO at La Cristalería, located at c/Sandoval 3, Madrid, on 19 and 20 October 2026. The opening reception is scheduled for 20 October from 18:00 to 21:00. This exhibition marks a continuation of the artist's long-standing partnership with the venue. Yes employs a visual language of geometric shapes, drawing inspiration from minimalism and urban art, while also alluding to written communication. The title of the exhibition is rooted in Gestalt theory, examining the interplay between figure and background. His latest pieces blur this distinction, reshaping how context is perceived, and encouraging viewers to explore urbanism through a focus on color and city lines, moving away from his typical curved forms.
