Illustrations and personal works by artist Jay Torres have dark surreal edges. Now based in Pasadena-based El Paso, artists trained to produce between analog and digital tools.
“The common themes of barren landscapes, nightmarish portraits and bright figures in Catholic portraits all combine quiet and faint dreams with political and literary discourse,” Jesus said of the artist. “In most of Jay’s work, it certainly works, but it’s by no means debate. The meanness here shapes a unique hypnotic and surreal aesthetic that is more popular than confrontational.”
