Crowd V Painting

"The project that I am currently developing revolves around the concept of crowd (crowd), both formally and stylistically as well as conceptually. I'm interested in the multitudinous representation of elements, in most cases characters that usually appear shouting. To increase this overwhelming and somewhat chaotic feeling, the images are located on a white background, which in my point of view disconnects the motif of the environment, focusing all attention on the concept of representation. 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, as well as seeing the works of Cy Twombly, who possesses all the strength and poetry with absolute elegance. " Blanco made the first sketches of the “Crowds” series in one of his stays in New York in 2016, but the first works of this series were made in Australia in 2017. Carlos Blanco Artero (Madrid 1983) has exhibited in Museums, Galleries and Institutions in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Hong Kong, Paris, Zaragoza, Barcelona or Madrid, and his works are in public and private collections in New York, Japan, Singapour, Mexico, Los Angeles, Miami, Austria, Madrid, Bilbao, Mallorca, Santander, Australia, Lybia, Paris and London.
