Painter, sculptor and draftsman, for López reality is simply a starting point, in which the process is as important as the finished work. As the artist says: "A work is never finished, but rather reaches the limit of its own possibilities". He works on his paintings over several years, sometimes decades, and with each brushstroke he distills the intricacies of the object or the landscape, until he manages to capture its essence on the canvas.
The exhibition at La Pedrera is the first retrospective monographic exhibition of Antonio López to be presented in Barcelona, and brings together a careful selection of around eighty works - between painting, sculpture and drawing - which allows you to trace a journey through his career of this artist over seven decades of work, from the first works of his youth, from the fifties, to the most recent production.
