"A Magia do Real" López Herrera Painting Exhibition

Lopez Herrera is a renowned painter, with a solid educational background and a vast and singular work of recognized artistic quality, which we can refer to as “magical realism”, but where we can find characteristic incursions and elements of true “surrealism”.

His paintings are like retables filled with iconographic elements which interact in various ways and in subtle connections and complicities, capable of provoking the most varied perceptions in the observer. In these complex scenarios, invented characters move in such a context of perception, that in each work they seem to become real, and lead us to multiple interpretations filled with wit and striking critics of our attitudes and experiences in society.
