Jose Marcano

Jose Marcano can be described as many things: sculpture, poet, photographer, painter; though there are many facets that make up this multidisciplinary Puerto Rican artist, it is his form of expression that captivates his viewers. Emotively charged entries chronicle the tension, and passions for the day-to-day using color as the sensory tool. His work envelops all energy, in the vulnerable endeavor of expressing the unexplainable. Meditative lines and beating spirals make their way in his new series. Gazing at these monumental black and white charcoal drawings is akin to witnessing an unscripted chant take its place on the canvas. Where passion always surpasses reason, Marcano’s keen sensibility to the human condition makes his work resonate that which is seemingly personal yet universally relatable.
