Wilson Abreu
Dueño de una poderosa iconografía de provocador estilo punzante y reflexivo, mezcla entre lo animal y lo humano, Abreu permite que la fábula y lo imaginario se conjuguen con gracia y sorpresa, dejando girones del alma en cada una de sus piezas y recreando insólitos personajes de una demoledora fuerza sincrética y primitiva.
Wilson Manuel Abreu Rodríguez, pintor y dibujante dominicano, nació el día 24 de Agosto del año 1972, en la ciudad de Constanza, Provincia La Vega, en la Cordillera Central de la República Dominicana. De formación artística autodidacta, recibió sus primeros estímulos en el arte de manos de su madre Maria Antigua Rodríguez, y su primera relación psicológica con la imagen visual, de su contacto con los dibujos infantiles que hacía junto a sus hermanos como parte de las tareas cotidianas de la escuela.
