Jose Aurelio Baez
(b.1986 Bronx, NY) Carnegie Mellon 08’
Mixed media visual artist from New York City
My creative process is rooted in repurposing and collaging paper into painting, drawing and mural work. I use collage to physically distort and abstract found paper from its original form to create layers of color and texture. Working with materials like paper, cardboard, newsprint and photography I intend to display a level of accessibility to my work.
Over the years this process of creation through deconstruction has informed all of my creative work from murals, installation and illustration - transferring images, lifting colors, chopping up visuals and replicating textures to present new perspectives of familiar objects.
