DESCRIPTION
Malrborough gallery presents the catalogue for the exhibition of Cuban-born artist Julio Larraz, on view from February 13 - March 16, 2013 at Marlborough Gallery, New York. Many of the pieces included in this exhibition embody an overarching characteristic of Larraz’s work: he creates a strong narrative element with latent implications that go beyond what is represented on the canvas. The critic Christofer Finch wrote, “a constant in Larraz’s art is the always ambiguous interaction between man and nature… Larraz has a virtuoso’s ability to conjure up the physical world. Beyond this he takes a poet’s delight in evoking imaginary universes, so that every image seems to take on a special significance in the context of the whole, as if it has been plucked from some epic that has yet to be written.”TRANSCRIPT
