NAVARRO, ADRIAN
Adrian Navarro seeks to expand the vocabulary of the visual arts, investigating new mechanisms of intervention in the pictorial medium, which include tools borrowed from architectural practices. His paintings describe implosions of colour trapped inside virtual volumes that float weightlessly in the pictorial space. Navarro´s work explores the paradox between the physical confinement and the expansive freedom inherent to the organic painting, and by extension to the human being.
Navarro (Boston, 1973) started his artistic activity in New York in 2001, after graduating from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, School of Architecture. From 2006 he establishes himself in London, where he has completed his art studies in Central Saint Martin´s College of Art & Design (2007-2008). Adrian Navarro has exhibited in several solo and group shows in both cities. His works can be found in art collections such as UBS Bank , Circa XX, Fundación AENA and Caja Madrid.
