This series try to explore social relationships and interpersonal bonds. All characters are part of

the same family, which as a whole seeks to represent the totality of

our current society. I have chosen to extrapolate individual traits to a more general level in order to provide a vision (both personal and subjective) of the way our

environment works. The peculiar mechanisms behind these characters

illustrate our contemporary world (flawed, stale and selfish) which

turns us into a helpless homogenous mass lacking any signs of

personality.

All of these paintings are based on real daguerreotypes dating

back to the 19th century, to which I have added features from our

contemporary consumer culture. It is thus an invitation to reflect on the inner depths of each character,

to imagine what may lie behind those unexpressive and icy faces which hold our gazes from the

inside of the painting. The general atmosphere is dreamy, surrealist

and disturbing, enhanced by the use of imaginary and media coming

from classical art history.

Sr. X www.sr-x.comsr-x@sr-x.com

Sr. X was born at the beginning of the 80’s in a small town in the north of Spain. After following several Arts degrees, he started to bring his ideas to the street, trying to get city people to stop, think or just smile for a moment when they saw his work, briefly forget-ting their daily routine.

Some of his inspirational themes are pop culture, films, publicity and urban legends, which he normally gives expression to through stencils, paste-ups or installations. His creations are often wrapped in a distinct tone of irony and social criticism, frequently shrouded by a veil of sharp humor.

In addition to his work in the streets, he likes to experiment with mixing street art techniques and more traditional elements such as acrylics, oil and collage in his studio, bringing his canvas creations one step forward with a more polished and elaborated process.

He has participated in numerous art festivals, exhibitions and projects, and he enjoys leaving some of his work in the cities he visits.
