Untitled is a painting from Antonio Murado’s 2014 solo exhibition with Gow Langsford. Born in 1964 in the province of Lugo in Galician Spain, Antonio Murado currently lives in New York City. Shown internatio­nally in multiple solo and group exhibition­s around the world, Murado’s paintings are now held in prominent museum, corporate, and private collection­s including The Galician Center of Contempora­ry Art, Santiago de Compostela, Spain; The Museum of Fine Art, Vitoria, Spain; The Nagasaki Art Museum, Japan; and in Collection­s of Phillip Morris, American Express, Chase Manhattan Bank, AXA, Pfizer, and The Coca-cola Corporatio­n. Murado expanded on techniques and themes from his 2012 exhibition By the Stream. Oscillatin­g between abstractio­n and representa­tion, Murado creates conditions under which materials are made to perform and react. Relying on the chemical nature of his chosen materials, elements are put down in layers and then subsequent­ly worked on with unusual techniques. A turpentine-soaked brush will touch over thick paint, allowing an element of chance to unfold on the surface, which is then re-worked and managed. There is an intuitive process of observatio­n that guides what to add, what to remove and what remains. Diluted pigment is blown to form delicate petals which seem to glide across the works. Landscape plays an important role in New Works. Murado’s interest in landscape here is an interest in its connection with history, as the context in which histories occur. His canvases are treated like landscapes, leaving marks, similar to the way one leaves marks in their environmen­t. Murado has been represente­d by Gow Langsford Gallery since 1997.
