Palma (Mallorca), 1949

A graduate in Art History and Modern and Contemporary History from Barcelona, ​​Ferran Garcia Sevilla has a prominent role as an art critic and theorist, and has also been a professor of Fine Arts at various universities. He is one of the pioneers of conceptual art, where one of his lines of research has been nature. In his work we also observe a commitment to social denunciation, showing the injustices that occurred during Franco’s regime on the part of the State security forces.

His beginnings in the seventies are marked by conceptualism, where through video and photography the function of art and the artist is questioned, as well as the mechanisms of consumption. In his works we can see the influence of artists such as Ràfols-Casamada, Tàpies or Miró, and it will be from the eighties when it will be reflected in a quick brushstroke that will transmit the idea of ​​primitivism, with the use of phrases or everyday objects with the aim of linking signs and images. In the nineties he produced works in which the details of the body stood out, becoming progressively more introspective through the superposition of lines and the use of the dripping technique.
