Bilbao-born Quincoces is much more than the quintessential painter of urban landscapes he is pinned to be. Often depicting cities that do not sleep, Quincoces creates an experience for the viewer that evokes a sense of adventure, allowing them to be transported to another place and time through his work.
Working with a limited palette of predominately oils, muted colours and charcoal washes, Quincoces works are exhibited and collected worldwide. Exploring human experience and emotion he aims to bring the viewer to a place that is familiar, thus the obvious references to infamous landscapes throughout his work.
Madrid born, Carlos Morago has also been exhibiting his work worldwide since the eighties. His distinctive style touches on elements of nature and landscapes both visited and created. An expertise at beautifully interpreting architecture, Morago’s work is intriguing leaving the viewer to wander through the various paths he depicts in his work. The exclusion of the human body within his paintings makes Morago’s style recognisable worldwide.
Thus far, throughout his career Marago has exhibited his work in France, Holland, Mexico, Belgium, Germany as well as all the major Spanish Cities, and now for the first time he will be exhibiting in Australia.
