Artist Statement:
"We are used to hearing and saying that we enter into the figures through the eyes.
This is not the case, they are who with theirs underlie us. Let them do it."
Carmen Castro – PhD in History and Art Critic
Madrid- born in 1983. "My painting has been transformed in these years from a new figuration, to a more expressive, gestural painting, where the figurative element is still, but more blurred. Knowing the work of George Condo in New York was undoubtedly one of the starting points of my current project."
Carlos Blanco Artero has exhibited at Museums, Galleries and Institutions in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Hong Kong, Paris, Philippines, Zaragoza, Barcelona or Madrid, and his works are in important collections such as the American musician Allen Stone, the philosopher Fernando Savater, Chiu Chien Chang Collection in Taiwan or billionaire Richard Magides who has several of his works in his collections in Singapore and New Zealand.
His paintings are also in public and private collections in New York, Japan, Mexico, Los Angeles, Miami, Austria, Madrid, Bilbao, Mallorca, Santander, Australia, Libya, New Zealand, Illinois, Colonia, Malta, Taiwan, Wisconsin, Milan, Monaco, Paris and London.
