Enrique Lorrio (1940) - La peau d'Espagne

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Signed and dated by hand.

- Spain rests on this canvas by Enrique Lorrío not as the tragic myth of Black Spain, but as a stern, barefoot nymph, with skin made of toasted wheat, stubble and the sacred geometry of the plateau. In the architecture of its strata—where pictorial matter piles up in bright furrows of ocher, vermilion and ash—beats the same devotion to the muted sobriety of the land that obsessed Juan Manuel Díaz Caneja. It is impossible to contemplate this mosaic of fenced plots under a stormy sky without evoking Caneja, who, tireless observer of Castilian agriculture from the window of his cell in the Ocaña prison, stripped Spain’s fields to their essential truth: a lyrical, mineral body, polished by light, where beauty is not concession or ornament, but the pure and blunt permanence of the earth.

- Image dimensions without frame: 65 x 48 cm / 85 x 68 cm with exclusive custom frame.
