About the Item

J. C. Morey is a Spanish artist from the province of Alicante. He was born into a family of artists and connected to the art world since the 60s, which gave him the opportunity from an early age to be in continuous contact with the work of numerous renowned Spanish artists, many of whom he had a personal relationship with. From his family and these professional artists, Morey was able to learn art techniques and create his first works, mainly oil landscape paintings and portraits. Morey considers himself a self-taught artist who has absorbed everything around him and is constantly evolving as both a person and an artist. Fostered by this close art community, his profession grew, and he attended numerous art fairs both nationally and internationally. These venues provided new sources of inspiration and gave him new techniques, enriching his pictorial genre that have now become part of his current style. Morey's populus paintings of legendary icons and recognizable artwork pieces of the Pop era highlight the connection between community, culture, and art. As a response to Abstract Expressionism, Pop art has a more industrial and commercial essence and explores the notion that “Art” exists everywhere, and everything is “Art.” Morey's utilization of figures in his works aims to bridge the relationship between “Art” and everyday life where people come to form and elevate the messages of the earlier era. His works are in private collections in countries such as U.S.A, U.K, Norway, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Spain.
