I just found this artist while cruising around on Flickr. His website is over here. He is Spanish, living in Brooklyn, and Chicago. Somewhere I read he was also a professor, but I can't find out where. He has a show coming up at Andrea Rosen Gallery, here. I like his work where he combines painting and drawing. He seems to explore many forms and to have a varied vocabulary. Maybe I'm the last person on the planet to discover his work!

    Very cool artist! Thanks for blogging about him. I love the last artwork you posted...the hatching with the ink looks so great!

    Wow, I really love his work! It's so fresh. I love the contrast between paint and ink, heavy and light, thin and thick. It's imbalanced yet that's why it works. And seeing it in a gallery setting is even more powerful! Thanks for the introduction.

    I can see the uppermost work would appeal to you because its style resembles yours..
