Eduardo Arroyo
Born 1937, Madrid, Spain. Lives and works in Madrid, Spain.
Artiste contestataire du régime franquiste, Eduardo Arroyo fuit rapidement son pays pour s’installer à Paris en 1958 où il exprime, au travers d’œuvres figuratives,
sa conception politique. Il retrouve l’Espagne quelques années plus tard, apaisé, et en tombe amoureux. Humour et tendresse deviennent plus apparents dans ses œuvres. Son style très littéraire se caractérise par une quasi-absence de profondeur et de grands aplats, qu’il met en forme principalement via le collage, sa technique de prédilection.
As an artist in fierce opposition to Franco’s regime, Eduardo Arroyo soon fled his native land. He arrived in Paris in 1958; there he expressed his political ideas through figurative artworks. He returned to Spain a few years later, passions appeased, and fell in love with the country. Humour and tenderness emerged in his work. His extremely literary style is characterised by an almost non-existent depth of field and sweeping planes, achieved mainly by collage, his preferred technique.
