LUIS GORDILLO
Spain, 1934
RAFAEL ORTIZ
Luis Gordillo is an artist from Seville, although he is based in Madrid. He defines himself as a “mental artist”, using forms and images that are as enigmatic as they are endowed with great aesthetic impact. There are many “Gordillos”, but they are all in one, containing, pluralising and diversifing them.
His work is multifaceted and incisive, as intense as it is capable of dismantling or overturning the apparent images of things in an x-ray of shapes and colours that questions what we consider real and, therefore, ourselves.
Without a doubt, one of the most consistent figures in the art of our time, both nationally and internationally.
