The last retrospective of Luis Gordillo, at the José Guerrero Centre and the Palace of Charles V in Granada

La última retrospectiva de Luis Gordillo, en el Centro Guerrero y el Palacio de Carlos V de Granada

Up until the 14th of January, ¿Confesión General¿ will be displayed at the José Guerrero Centre and the Palace of Charles V located in Granada. The latter is in fact the retrospective exhibition of Sevillian artist Luis Gordillo, which, following its inauguration in Seville in 2016, has already travelled as far as San Sebastián and Santiago de Compostela. The exhibition brings together over 100 of the artist's works that illustrate the different stages of his evolution over the course of a career that already spans more than six decades. The exhibition offers a chronological journey through the work of Gordillo, since his very beginnings in the 1950s up to the present day. His early stages occupy the halls of the José Guerrero Centre, where it is possible to catch a glimpse of his renowned heads, related to the British pop art movement.

His well-known series of drivers and pedestrians that intertwine figurative and geometric language are equally one of the identifying traits of the Sevillian painter who has also put photography to a documentary and experimental use. However, as for the artist¿s scope in Granada, his works also engage in dialogue with those of José Guerrero himself. His most recent creations, from the 1970s until the present day, are displayed in the halls of the Museum of Fine Arts and the Palace of Charles V. It is the anthology of a single artist, engaging in ongoing experimentation, capable of surprising us with a chromatic world in which creative tension, confrontation and drawing forever remain as the backbone of his extensive work.
