I saw the show at MOCO in Barcelona and it was exceptional! The gravity of Lorca's paintings is amplified ten-fold when you can get up close and see the brushstrokes and the textures and the subtle plays of color.
Thank you for posting this interview! I love this artist. His paintings emulate so many feelings that I had in my childhood nightmares. It's like seeing something that should terrify you, but you're sort of numb to it.
I am fascinated with the young girls! I love the relevance to current children and feel it only makes the painting more interesting and current - and without adding a cellphone or something more obvious. Their presence (and hair color) is better explained by his reference to anime.
Guillermo and his 135 foot mural reminds me of The Age of Reptiles at Yale University Peabody Museum in New Haven, CT., similar in size, painted by a young Rudolph Zallinger. What a daunting task most would avoid.
Omg!! Finally! I am such a longtime fan of Guillermo. Wow! What an amazing artist experience! Not my level, but I aspire and seek to understand more about his “everything related to art”. Micah is my almost second favorite, because he is better at articulating in our native language 😉-and that he is an enthusiastic wealth of information -even though he doesn’t paint (at least it seems that he doesn’t) you would think he and the artist were best friends at some point. However Guillermo is spectacular in ways I don’t think even Micah could explain -and on that note….another podcast???
Great interview! Thank you for introducing me to this artist. I can definitely see anime and manga influences in his work, Miyazaki and Otomo. Jeff - I hope you watched a high definition subtitled version of Akira after this interview? 😊 way ahead of its time, fanatic obsession with quality and the manga is even better
Very impressive and attention getting ability in painting. While I'm more interested in landscapes, figurative, and portrait as I look for growth personally with interviews like yours this was interesting.
Haha!! Being high really got to me. Been following this dude for a while and this just made me laugh. I know he met my friend Miles Johnston (recommend you interview him) and can imagine the talks this two had. Wish I could join ;)) I’m very happy about people who are stubborn and just do it no matter if it fails or not. I’m 34 and I’m stuck in commission work, that I enjoy, but damn I would love to do something biggish, hehe. I like your work mister Guillermo but those children in your paintings freaks me out, haha! But the animals… love those! Nice talk! Glad I’m supporting these podcasts.
I’m mad they met at a 3000€ workshop, would have loved to be there, good for them though, by the way, realized it was you after reading the comment, love your work, would love to see Miles and you on here!
Hehe! Glad for them indeed! And thank you! Haha! I got a lot of work to show to be able to get on his podcast. Busy with screenprints right now, hehe. I'm enjoying them. Complex in their own way, I guess 🙏😂 Miles should be a figure here. He is more consistent for sure! Or Nick Alm! Stay safe!
Power to the accomplished young man🎉👏👏👏I tend to wonder about the use of A.I. in the designs here; there are so many incongruous elements thrown together. What if Velazquez, Rubens, Michaelangelo had Photoshop and AI? Is there an elephant in the room these days (or a gorilla) about which no one is asking?
I suppose it’s possible but he’s been doing this since long before AI. I’ve seen other artists adopt AI and their work both changes and improves dramatically. His has been consistent for 20 years. Thanks for listening.
well his paintings look nothing like Balthus', and if it makes you uncomfortable even to be direct and say exactly what you mean here then i can see why you don't like them.
A great painting talent for sure but yeah... I was reminded a bit of Lewis Carol the guy who wrote Alice in Wonderland.(His photographs of young partially clothed/naked female children).

Jealous!

Absolutely! You’re welcome.

He is such a talented artist

OMG OMG OMG I was waiting since forever for this interview ❤❤❤❤

Don’t be so sure Theodora. You’re already on my list. Keep doing amazing work.
@@theundrapedartist Yeah, get her on!

I continue to find his imagery of young girls to be unsettling, like like it is in the work of Balthus

Ni cerca... Son representaciones de energía más que otra cosa.
