Most of Jigger Cruz’s body of work exists within a state of dialectical tension. On one hand, it is easy to see his pieces as pure and unfiltered abstraction, borne out of the anarchic disorder of the mind. But, on the other hand, a critical and careful eye reveals a sense of harmony, place, and framing often attributed to classical and academic techniques and treatments. It is this struggle between abstraction and representation that makes Cruz’s art engaging. It consistently reveals different aspects of itself with each viewing. Jigger Cruz has perfectly encapsulated within his works an eternal duel of the fates.
