Descriere Erró

In his paintings, Erró champions a style that oscillates between Surrealism and Pop Art. He uses an exuberant wealth of themes, lining them in a seemingly never-ending collage to develop the most bizarre of stories, and viewers will find it quite impossible to untangle and decipher them. The modern world and its technologies and their inhuman thrust are topics he addresses, as are political events, the strange and the familiar, the real and the invented world. In the process, he integrates elements from comics and sci-fi, while also ingeniously incorporating quotes from art history, professing ?I paint because painting is a private Utopia.?0The exhibition brings together paintings and prints, some of them actually from the 1960s, that depict that wild cosmos of exuberant imaginings. They also repeatedly revolve around the relationship between East and West ? Mao and America. The publication is appearing to coincide with the exhibition.0Exhibition: Ludwig Museum im Deutschherrenhaus, Koblenz, Germany (28.08-16.10.2016).
