I WANT MY PAINTINGS TO BE

After having presented his work for the most prestigious artistic spaces in the world: from the New York gallery Leo Castelli (1993) to the Royal Academy in London (2002) to Konrad Fischer in Dusseldorf … The gallery Miguel Marcos has the pleasure of exposing, for the first time in Spain, a selection of paintings by Alan Charlton (Sheffield, England, 1948).

Not only the disturbing gray monochrome paintings, based on a rigorous close-up will surprise the visitor, but also a careful staging in the gallery space. Thus his paintings in parts, with their sets of lights and projected shadows, will add a rhythm to the surrounding walls, highlighting its plain and punctuating its scale.

If gray has been defined through history as non-color par excellence, it is Alan Charlton who has claimed, throughout his artistic career, the subtlety of its nuances and the infinite richness of its tonal variations. A gray whose different values ​​seem to proclaim the appearance of all colors.

A work, impregnated by silence and by the vision of a universe in balance marked by the beauty of the unreal aspect of the geometric figure.
