El Maestro!

Seriously, my favorite contemporary artist is Senor Antonio Lopez Garcia. No Doubt. Here are some shots my friend Brendan Sharkey took during his visit to Boston.

Garcia currently has a very rare exhibition at the MFA Boston going on, I think only his second in the states over his long career. You must click to embiggen! Enjoy.



I can declare with the utmost confidence that he has no match.


I've only posted images from one painting, including closeups Brendan took.




These images reveal what normally can only be seen in person (obviously with lesser quality) and I don't think I've seen anything like them on the internet. To see, up close, how he works to transcribe what he sees, and then the overall effect is amazing. I am seriously blown away. God damn.
