Carlos Jorge (b. 1970) is a Mexican artist, currently based in Miami, who is most known for his large-scale paintings that display vibrant and exuberant use of color. The artist uses his canvas to express surreal narratives, an exercise of memory, in which pop iconography, fashion, and allusions to Miró and Gauguin collide. With deliberate employment of color and texture, the artist’s abstractions create planes of bright and evocative imagery. Jorge studied at the International School of Art in Umbria, Italy, under such icons as Wayne Thiebaud and Knox Martin. He’s held exhibitions in Mexico and the U.S. since the early 1990s, and in 1997, his solo exhibition was awarded an Honorable Mention at the Seventh Biennial of Visual Arts in Mérida, Yucatán. His works are part of private and public collections, such as the Museum of the City of Mérida, Yucatán, in Mexico.
