Marco Breuer is one of the most innovative contemporary artists working in photography today. He is well known for using an extensive range of processes to extract abstract and visually compelling images from photographic materials. Line of Sight comprises a selection of photographs made by Breuer and placed in dialogue with objects from the de Young's permanent collection.
Selected and installed by the artist in a compressed time period of 24 hours, Breuer sets up a dynamic exchange between the works of art, the collecting practices of the institution, and the viewing habits of museum visitors. The single-gallery exhibition is part of the Collection Connections program of Cultural Encounters.

ANTONIO MURADO "Landed All With Sweet Flowers" - today's art recommendation at the New York Sun


Landed All With Sweet Flowers
By Franklin Einspruch

"[Antonio] Murado is an extraordinarily versatile painter with a voracious and omnivorous appetite for source material," according to Von Lintel Gallery, where his paintings inspired by Shakespeare's Ophelia go on display in an exhibition opening tomorrow evening. "Rather than depicting the tragic heroine herself, Murado uses various methods to blow liquid paint across pale scrims of brushed on, semi-transparent color. The blown paint creates vaguely petal like forms that float over veil-like cooler hues, reminiscent of flowers on a watery surface - the most poignant and poetic symbols of Ophelia's fate."

Antonio Murado: Ophelia | March 24, 2011—April 30, 2011


Antonio Murado: Ophelia
March 24, 2011—April 30, 2011
Opening reception: Thursday, March 24, 6—8 PM 

Von Lintel Gallery is pleased to announce Ophelia, an exhibition of new paintings by Antonio Murado. This will be the artist's second solo show with Von Lintel Gallery and his seventh in New York.

Murado is an extraordinarily versatile painter with a voracious and omnivorous appetite for source material. His paintings range from heavily textured impasto dirges to melodious arias, and always demonstrate his virtuosity with materials and skill at creating subtle painterly effect. In this series of paintings, inspired by Shakespeare's Ophelia, Murado orchestrates a range of techniques with stunning results. Rather than depicting the tragic heroine herself, Murado uses various methods to blow liquid paint across pale scrims of brushed on, semi-transparent color. The blown paint creates vaguely petal like forms that float over veil-like cooler hues, reminiscent of flowers on a watery surface--the most poignant and poetic symbols of Ophelia's fate. The subtle palette and meditative mood of these works, coupled with their layered physicality and bold brushwork, show that Murado is an artist who would have been at ease in the most brutish abstract expressionist circles but is not afraid to paint delicate and unabashedly beautiful pictures.

Antonio Murado's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally for nearly two decades. His work is held by virtually every museum in Spain and is included in major public and private collections throughout Europe and the United States. A native of Lugo, Spain, the artist currently lives and works in New York.
