The Raíña Lupa exhibition room shows us, almost simoultaneously with the Ana Vilaseco Gallery from A Coruña, the latest work by the catalan artist Lluis Lleó, settled in New York since 1989 and who has done this work on a horse between the gigantic city and the town of Rupià.

 

 

The Works of Lleó on Nepal Paper resort once and over to the same subject, working it and rediscovering it in its multiple facets; in which the abysmal black and blood red predominate in order to capture the intangible ethereal sinuosity of the paper itself. In this works the artist shows us how the world recycles, dissolves and reconverts itself; how the energy of an obsolete body gives life to a new one, different in appearance but with the same essence.

 

Apart from this, Lleó works in the representation of drawing in a tridimensional way, creating white aluminium cylindres covered by watercolours and drawings on the inside, so that the viewer literally finds himself immerse and surrounded by the piece.

 

Raíña Lupa and Ana Vilaseco will edit a catalogue in collaboration, in which the works will be accompanied by a text written by Joanna Kleinberg – the Deputy Director of the Drawing Center in New York – that will help us unveil the language of Lleó’s work.
