(Artist Bio)
Irene Lopez Leon is a Barcelona-native Spanish contemporary artist well-known for her thought-provoking and visually striking art. Her art is full of commentary on the way that consumer culture shapes our lives and identities. In her work, she challenges us to question the messages we receive from pop culture and to consider the impact that these messages have on our society. Irene describes her artwork as landscape painting, although they have nothing to do with the classic natural space.
Through a subversion of popular imagery, Irene often incorporates elements of advertising, brand imagery, and pop culture icons, resulting in vivid and intriguing artworks. Irene’s witty art often features familiar characters and logos that have been altered or twisted in some way to convey a different message or meaning. She uses natural elements such as flowers and animals as a pretext, although her main work deals with composition and powerful colors. Her paintings are a mixture of figurative and abstract styles.
Irene brilliantly incorporates the organic and geometric element that plays with the color that you can find in the natural environment, giving depth, balance, and color to the composition and moving away from the classic concept that is normally given to still-life flowers or a landscape. Irene Lopez Leon’s astonishing work can be found in galleries and public spaces around the world.
