GORKA GARCIA - On devastated gods II
Technique: Oil on panel with gold leaf
Artist Biography: Gorka García is one of the youngest and most promising artists of the gallery, who is strongly committed to his painting starring uninhabited landscapes in which the poetics of ruin and a deep compositional and formal analysis of his works are the common denominator. Gorka's work tries to deepen and reflect on the relationship between the various utopian proposals raised throughout history by great thinkers such as Plato, Rousseau, Comte or Marx, among others, and the somehow "dystopian" world in which we live today. To this end, he takes as a paradigm of utopia the aesthetics of the Renaissance -a markedly utopian era- and, as a paradigm of dystopia, various contemporary cities devastated by war. In the case of the former, we could speak of extremely studied, harmonic, linear and colorful compositions; and in the latter, of very disorderly and anarchic compositions, in which the piles of rubble or the demolished buildings do not keep any logic or adhere to a marked perspective, to which we can add the rather monochromatic character of the wide range of grays that the artist uses to reflect those places immersed in different war conflicts. With a degree in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country, Gorka resides for a year in Italy thanks to a scholarship that allows him to spend one of his academic years at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna. After his time at the university, he continued his apprenticeship in the studio of the painter Alejandro Quincoces and received, among others, the "Scholarship for retired painters of the Quintanar Palace" (Segovia) and the scholarship of the "Antonio Gala Foundation for young artists" (Cordoba). He has also participated in numerous editions of FLECHA and Art Madrid as well as in the Emerging Arts Salon of GetxoArte and in 2012 he published a catalog raisonné of his work with texts by Antonio Gala, Alejandro Quincoces, Juan Gómez Bárcena and Javier Vicedo Alós: 'Metacal: Geometría del ocaso'.
