Orcajo
Painter
Spain
|
Born in Madrid, 1934
He studied in Fine Arts School in Madrid.
Orcajo’s painting is visibly, although only visibly and distantly at that, similar to “metaphysical painting”.
He paints huge empty spaces of suburban and industrial geometrical constructions. Admittedly one cannot discount the geometrical penetration they contain, yet it is not the soul of this geometry that prevails: it is the painter’s criticism of solitude in the immensely inhabited world of the big city.
It might be described as a criticism of the de-civilization of the city in its present state.
