THE VALUE OF THE EVERYDAY IN LARRY MADRIGAL

From 11/22/2024 to 02/14/2025
Madrid, Spain

VETA by Fer Francés presents the first solo exhibition of Larry Madrigal (Los Angeles, USA, 1986), one of the latest artists to join the list of those represented by the Madrid gallery. Too Good to be True presents about twenty portraits that revolve around the background of human relationships, interpersonal connection and intimacy, themes that the Mexican-American artist is considering after becoming a father and radically changing his interest in political art.

THE VALUE OF THE EVERYDAY IN LARRY MADRIGAL

Thus, the exhibition takes us into an everyday, reflective and intimate plane, where the evolution of the human being from birth to maturity is the thematic nexus of Madrigal's portraits. In this way, the artist's work refers us to the importance of daily actions that, although small, can forge the character more than the great milestones, elevating the routine to an instrumental element of the personal environment.

 

However, Madrigal does not ignore the power of painting in terms of the introduction of complementary elements and his canvases show and incorporate objects and auras that take us to a dimension with certain surrealistic touches. Shines, shades or bubbles are the preferred tools to give that patina of surreal realism, closer to the former, despite the possible influence of pop surrealism, and which has become a personal mark of the artist.

Too Good to be True can be seen until February 14 at VETA by Fer Francés, Antoñita Jiménez, 21, Madrid (Spain).
