Jesús Cruz Negrón (b. 1975, Puerto Rico)

Jesús Cruz Negrón, fondly known as Bubu, re-contextualizes the everyday with minimal intervention and relational approximation, revealing historic, social, and economic vitality.

He studied at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas, San Juan, and he lives and works in the city’s Puerto de Tierra neighborhood, where he is part of the grassroots preservation community Brigada PDT.
He was awarded the “Golden Pineapple” prize for best artist at the inaugural Bienal Tropical de Puerto Rico (2011). Negrón has exhibited widely across the globe, including the 2007 Sharjah Biennial (Sharjah, United Arab Emirates) and Tropical Abstraction, curated by Ross Gortzak at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in 2005.

Recent exhibitions include Low Budget Drawings, Robert Paradise (San Juan) at ARCO Madrid, 2013; and A Reflection Room, curated by Carla Acevedo-Yates for Henrique Faria Gallery, New York, 2016.
