Eduardo Arroyo

Life

He studied in his native city of art, left Spain but in 1958 due to its principled contempt of the regime Francisco Franco ( the thus in his old age abfindenden Salvador Dalí called Arroyo later as " whore " ) and was even his citizenship in 1974 deprived (which he, however, two years later, one years after the death of the caudillo, back received ). In Paris he became friends with members of the local young art scene, especially with Gilles Aillaud, with whom he will make together later stage pictures, but also with the old master Joan Miró. In 1964 he succeeded in the context of a first major exhibition of the breakthrough, followed by over 20 years of great critical success and high esteem in the art market. Today, the ideologically and artistically uncompromising artist is active as ever, even if it seems to have become a little quieter around his creations.

Stylistically Arroyos are mostly ironic, colorful works at the intersection between the flows Nouvelle Figuration and Figuration narrative and Pop Art Characteristic of his representations is the general absence of spatial depth and the flattening of perspective.

Arroyo has become a wide audience through his numerous works as a set designer and costume designer partly as a term. In this respect he has been working together since 1969, especially with the director Klaus Michael Gruber, who encouraged him to this activity. Arroyo -designed stages, inter alia, the Piccolo Teatro in Milan, Paris Opera (1976 Richard Wagner's Die Walküre ), the stage at Rosa Luxemburg Platz in Berlin or the Salzburg Festival (1991 Leoš Janáček Z mrtvého domu ).
