Smears Heres


A little eye candy for you - in the form of Yago Hortal’s lusciously vibrant paintings of explosive color.

The Berlin-based Spanish artist says, in the most convoluted sort of way: “A painting that talks about painting, and in consequence, about its own language autonomy, is a whirlpool that extends to infinity, a pictorial-rational loop.” For me, it's all about the act of working with paint, in it's most natural form. 
What I love most is that you don't have to think at all to enjoy these: Turn off the old bean and revel in the swirls and splashes of Hortal’s abstractions.
