Additional information

“Horizontal Tennis Players” (2022) combines every aspect of Jorge Blanco’s vision into one piece. His predilection for movement is on full display, as the figure lunges desperately for the tennis ball, arms and legs akimbo, and the hair flies back from their face, a shocked expression frozen on it as the ball whizzes past. The figure is also classic Blanco, with large limbs and curved lines surrounding the red undershirt suggesting the twist and turn of the body in the midst of jumping. The tennis racket displays Blanco’s mathematical fascinations and clever use of negative space, as well as his penchant for breaking the comic frame. Finally, the smartly segmented and minimalist use of bright colors draws our eye to each piece of the work, conveying Blanco’s lifelong love affair with sports and his appreciation for that pivotal moment in every game ever played, telling a story without saying one word.
