The Andalusian-born artist from Germany, Matías Sánchez, presents his series of portraits of vagrants and crooks in the capital of Gran Canaria . Throughout his career he has built an abstract painting that includes a very personal type of figuration with expressionist influences. His work can be understood as a speaker of the society in which we live, through the constant flow of images, tv, tabloids or the prevailing mediocrity in institutions.It was in the edition of ARCO 2002 where the work of Matías obtained an enormous success of public and critic. In ARCO in 2003, his 6-meter oil painting was the cover of the newspaper El País announcing that edition of the fair.His work has been exhibited in contemporary art centers such as CAC Malaga, where he has exhibited an individual exhibition, or the CAAM - Atlantic Center of Modern Art (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria).Loading...
