Moisés Mohiques

Spanish artist Moisés Mohiques has been creating these overlapping figure drawings that show situations and emotions. The constant repetition and overlapping causes chaos and distortion which is what makes the works interesting. Mohiqués chooses to illustrate siutations of disaster, violence and sex. Literally putting 100 frames into one. The works are very minimal in terms of tone and colour however it deems perfect for his overlapping style.

He does many site specific work where you are able to see his drawings on the walls which definitely adds another dimension to a white wall. I have chosen some works which you can see after the jump that showcase the variety of topics in which he covers in different ways. I am becoming a fan of his work however, I've only seen a couple pieces where he draws the female body - which I would like to see more of!

Guim Tió Zarraluki

Barcelona based artist Guim Tió draws over pre-existing magazine photographs and renders them into something completely different. Tió's style is already evident by his use of highlighting the nose and reducing eyes into expressive-less circles of nothing. Some of the portraits are haunting and portray pretty zombie-like figures although there is an added quirkiness in Tió's work. I enjoy that in some of the illustrations that he has left the markings of the magazine advertisement giving us an insight that these surreal like figures were once beautiful models. 

Tió uses oil-pastels to distort the faces of models in advertisements that take up the majority of pages in magazines, posters at the bus stop and massive city billboards that you drive by and scream to us 'IDEAL BEAUTY'. Instead of shredding our self-esteem, these works are fun, abstract and dynamic compared to expressionless fashion advertisements.
