Ferran Garcia Sevilla

Spanish painter Ferran Garcia Sevilla is a collector of images. His eclectic pictorial style draws on his travels in the Middle East, on comic books, urban graffiti, philosophy and Eastern cultures, resulting in great sensuous open spaces in which everything blends together, both in terms of iconography and ideas. His raw, colourful, primitive canvases are often peppered with caustic, hand-scrawled commentaries on life and politics, as well as religious symbols – the hand, circle, tree, triangle and cross – with the aim of empowering and also challenging these charged forms. This gloriously illustrated volume chronicles Sevilla’s work from the 1980s to the present day.
