Abraham Lacalle
Spain, 1962. Lives and works in Madrid, Spain.
Lacalle’s raw landscapes are unconventional. His pieces do not put the focus on beauty, although it exists, or an idealized vision. The undergrowth, the mud in rivers and roads, the broken or dry trees, the waste elements that nobody wants to appear in his images of natural landscapes in this society of appearance, play a preponderant role in his works.
Lacalle is one of the most outstanding artists on the Spanish scene. He has exhibited in the most prominent cultural institutions and galleries, such as Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; CAAC, Seville; Marlborough gallery, Barcelona, Madrid and New York; Nova Invaliden Galerie, Berlin; CAAM, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria or CAC Málaga.
