Antonio Murado Green Oil on Canvas, expressionist, blue , green Painting

About the Item

Signed in Madrid in 1993, this work by Antonio José Murado synthesizes the aspects of expressionist figuration, a current to which the artist was closely related, specifically during the 1990s. We see how he represents a landscape tending towards abstraction, in which the green color stands out, a hue used to a great extent by the painter during that season. Renouncing matter, the artist will give rise to works characterized by pictorial experimentation and play with representation; blurring the limits between the pictorial space and the image, with subtle and veiled results that ooze dreaminess and romanticism. It is precisely in this context that the work we present is framed. Since 1990, his production of him has been based on large-format works in which figuration and landscaping are combined, which increasingly tend towards abstraction. As we already mentioned, his work is characterized by pictorial experimentation, the game between abstraction and figuration being frequent, since, as the author himself points out: «I have always thought that there is not much difference between the abstract and the figurative and I do not think That is a very accurate classification for painting. It seems to me that everything is abstract and everything is figurative. My new paintings, in particular, are a mix of both. The theme is abstract and the treatment figurative in the sense that there is no representation of a reality, but the realization of a reality. I have never wanted to represent an image already seen. In my work I try to propose an investigation of virtual space...». He recognizes himself as a perfectionist and obsessive in his work by him, something that his works by him reveal and although several books have been written about him, for him personally, the best is the one written by the art historian María de la Vega. It is the result of many conversations between the two, therefore, it is a very personal work. ________________________ Without a doubt, Murado is one of the Spanish painters with the greatest international projection. Proof of this are the numerous occasions on which he was awarded and the scope obtained by his works by him, many of them exhibited in important art spaces and galleries in the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, Portugal, Austria, New Zealand, Canada, South America or the United States. .Sobre el artista about the artist Antonio José Murado López was born in 1964 in Lugo into a family of artists: his father was a painter and filmmaker, his mother a draftsman, and his brother is a writer (Miguel Anxo Murado); therefore, from a very young age, he develops his artistic concerns. In 1985 he shows his first collectives and, just two years later, his first individual one, at the Sargadelos Gallery in Santiago de Compostela. He graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca in 1988. He obtained a scholarship for the Current Art Workshops of the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid together with the artist Juan Navarro Baldeweg. In 1987 he obtained the Manuel Colmeiro scholarship from the Xunta de Galicia, three years later the Banesto Scholarship and the Unión Fenosa Scholarship for artistic creation in 1995. Thanks to his achievements, in 1996 he was able to move to New York and access the Cooper Union School. Since then, he has lived and worked in New York, although before moving to the United States, he inaugurated the Zú exhibition hall in Lugo in 1987, which for two years held exhibitions of young Spanish and Austrian artists in exchange with the Viennese gallery Cult. The group that Murado forms together with the artists Thomas Jocher, Michael Haas and Antonio Fernández González also receives the same name, Zú.
