If a trip to
London is on your mind, then you must also have a long itinerary of all the
places you want to see. But is the Marlborough Gallery a part of that list? If
not, then you will be missing out on something spectacular. The Gallery, which
was founded in 1946, is home to one of the finest art collections in the world.
The Gallery hosts artworks from global artists, from famous stalwarts to
underground artists who are trying to make a mark in the world of fine art.
On your visit
to the gallery, there is one artist, in particular, you should watch out for -
Antonio Lopez Garcia. If you are an art aficionado then you must have heard
Garcia’s name is spoken with reverence. After all, he was called the “greatest
realist artist alive” by Robert Hughes. The Spaniard is known for his realistic
art which encompasses paintings and sculptures. Lopez has been celebrated in
his native Spain, but it is only recently that the Western World has awakened
to his brilliance. A large credit of this goes to hubs like the Marlborough
Gallery who have curated a spectacular Antonio Lopez Garcia exhibition.
The exhibit
houses some of Lopez’s most intriguing artworks. A part of this is ‘Man and
Woman’, a polychrome wood sculpture of a man and a woman. These life-like works
of art are detailed and precise and give viewers an uncanny feeling of looking
at real people. ‘Sink and Mirror’ oil on wood painting displays an ordinary
sink, with regular items. But its sheer brilliance lies in giving a magical
appeal to these everyday items. The artist elevates all that is ordinary to
extraordinary in his art. Further heightening the theme of realism is ‘View of
Madrid from Torres Blancas’ which is an oil on panel. The work looks like a
life-like picture of a road in Madrid. The image displays high-rises stretching
onto the horizon of a city the artist calls home.
The beauty of
Antonio Lopez Garcia’s paintings are
how simplicity draws you in. The ‘every day’ of our lives is recreated on a
canvas which when gazed upon will give you a new perspective. If you are in the
mood for introspection or want to discover new artists, then Lopez’s works will
not disappoint. So, soak in the aesthetic appeal of Lopez’s works on your visit
to the Marlborough Gallery and treat your senses to the beauty of fine art.
