José Juan Aguilar

José Juan Aguilar is the younger brother of Demetrio Aguilar. Both were born with the playful and humorous skills of their famous mother Josefina and each has done their own thing with them. While Demetrio's work adds a rather dark and rough note to the overall work of the Aguilar clan, José has created his very own, bittersweet version over the years, which is in no way inferior to his brother's work in terms of intensity and ingenuity. The profiled shapes of his clay sculptures meet an always perfect color finish in the washed-out earthy tones that have made the Aguilar clan world-famous. José's very own spice are metallic shades, with which he gallantly emphasizes small details of his figures and sets deadly chic contrasts to the base coats. While you can clearly see the rustic old-school style of his mother and her three sisters shining through in the facial expressions and shapes of his brother's figures, José opens up a completely new chapter in the family saga with his comparatively delicate design, enjoys creating expressive skulls and is not afraid to experiment with the red clay of his homeland.There is already so much wit and humor running through the work of this shy genius that one can confidently proclaim the arrival of the Aguilar saga in the 21st century - the famous sisters are followed by the Aguilar brothers, who create things with their four hands that make the world stand still for a moment.
