Spanish painter and sculptor Alfredo Garcia Revuelta, born in Madrid in 1961, tells us through his works a personal view of things, facts and feelings of life itself that affect everyone in a different way. His aesthetic approach which is figurative, narrative and daily, plays ironically with classical ideal forms and ideologies. It hides a form and content that are born to be timeless and that consolidate by time.The artist says: “I keep my eyes and ears open but not too much, because the world I’m creating is being built back to the fragile and brief trends imposed by the market trends” and expresses that he not only knows the dangers of being an outsider, but also the immense benefits of being oneself; someone trying hard not to be polluted. He claims that, little by little, he started to give shape to a very personal world which is constantly evolving, and has grown along with him to the present day.Revuelta’s world has its foundations in a complex exercise of liberty; he is trying to do exactly what he wants every time he confronts art, and he always aims to do it in a simple, direct and concise way. His challenge is to keep his works from being over-complicated and too conceptual; so that they can be understood by anyone regardless of his or her intellect. He tries to create works which are highly technical, neat, and very well-finished. When he starts a piece, he does not concern himself with the time it takes to complete, only the final result.Revuelta explains his work as “the poetry of everyday irony between sense of humour and the reflection of loneliness”. These works are the result of his specific perspective on life, combined with his sense of humour as well as his personal attitudes towards pain, love, loneliness and absence. Despite the immediate playfulness of these works, there is a lot of drama, just under the surface awaiting the keen observer.
