Est: €1,800 - €2,000
CARLOS FRANCO (Madrid, 1951). "Temptations of San Antonio II", 1993. Mixed media on táblex. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 27 x 81 cm; 34 x 88 cm (frame). In this work Carlos Franco expresses himself in a totally personal way, constructing the space based on juxtapositions, with a certain appearance of collage, in a way that is nevertheless totally ordered, endowed with its own internal logic. Thus, the elements are perfectly interwoven through the line, heir to the avant-garde of the interwar period, energetic and protagonist, fluid, changing and volumetric, which combines with the color plane, texture and light to focus the viewer's attention, giving relevance to some areas compared to others and even build several planes of depth that, however, are held outside any law of perspective. On this complex structural layout, color is expressed with sensuality, evoking vivid surfaces combined with reflections, shadows and fragments.

Est: €3,000 - €3,500
CARLOS FRANCO, (Madrid, 1951). "Wheel of fortune", 2018. Mixed media on silk. This piece belongs to the Kimono Joya collection. Signed and dated in the lower central area. Size: 38 x 39 cm; 53 x 53 cm (frame). This work belongs to the exhibition project entitled "Treasures on silk. Ensoñaciones orientales", created by Fumiko Negishi and Carlos Muñiz. The project not only comprised an exhibition of 30 Haoris intervened by various artists from the international contemporary art scene, but was accompanied by a set of 10 Tanka poems by Junko Okawara, objects of Wabi Sabi philosophy and action painting. In the creation of this collection, the inspiration of the exhibition entitled "Kimono Joya, Wabi Sabi the beauty of imperfection" has been fundamental. This exhibition was created on the basis of an artistic project of national and international recognition: Kimono -joya; which after having been exhibited in several cities in Spain and Japan, was presented in the Matadero hall in Madrid in 2023. Each of the artists created their artistic design based on the traditional Japanese garment known as Haori. Each of the works presents a reduced T-shaped format, following the idea of idealising the miniature, a concept that harmonises with oriental philosophy. The material itself transports the viewer to the trade routes between East and West and to the natural exchange that is the basis for the enrichment of a profound knowledge. The Haori, as a cultural identity, has been intervened by each artist in a personal way and serves in this case as a catalyst for this exchange and a canvas for the personal vision of each of the artists who have participated in this project. Carlos Franco is an artist from Madrid who has participated in numerous exhibitions internationally, for example in the United States, Germany and Monaco. Carlos Franco is currently represented in the MNCARS, the MEAC, the Museo de Vitoria, the Municipal de Arte Contemporáneo de Madrid, the Instituto de Empresa and the Instituto de Crédito Oficial, the Fundación Mapfre and in the Testimoni collections of La Caixa, Banco Hipotecario, Amigos del Arte Contemporáneo, Tándem DDM, Banco Europeo de Inversiones, Loewe Hnos, Argentaria and the International Olympic Committee, among others.

In 1989 he also won the Madrid City Council competition for the mural decoration of the façade of the Real Casa de la Panadería in the Plaza Mayor. After two decades of solo exhibitions in leading galleries in Spain, mainly in Madrid, he made his debut abroad in 1999, with a solo show at the MDA gallery in Helsingborg (Sweden). Since then he has combined his exhibitions in Spain with others abroad, in Brazil, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica and Panama, in centres as important as the Oscar Niemeyer Museum in Curitiba (Brazil). Since 2003 he has been exhibiting at the Marlborough Gallery in Madrid (he will later exhibit at the Marlborough Gallery in New York), and in 2007 the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía organised an exhibition of his graphic work which was held at the Monasterio de Silos (Burgos). In recent years he has also taken part in important group exhibitions and fairs in Spain, the United States, Germany and Monaco. Carlos Franco is currently represented in the MNCARS, the MEAC, the Museo de Vitoria, the Municipal de Arte Contemporáneo de Madrid, the Instituto de Empresa and the Instituto de Crédito Oficial, the Fundación Mapfre and in the Testimoni collections of La Caixa, Banco Hipotecario, Amigos del Arte Contemporáneo, Tándem DDM, Banco Europeo de Inversiones, Loewe Hnos, Argentaria and the International Olympic Committee, among others.

Born in 1929 on the southern coast of Uruguay, Franco was an accomplished architect and prolific visual artist, earning himself a place amongst the leading post-war abstract figurative artists.
