About the Book
Lorca surprises us with the theatrical vibration of his works, in which the human and the animal, as well as the real and the dreamlike, coexist in a complex balance of opposing forces. There is always a special beauty in the realm of the limit.
The profusion of elements and the binary treatment of light bring the Baroque tradition to mind. We notice that he pays remarkable attention to detail and texture. He carefully studies the delicate compositions and rhythms of his works.
The themes link him to romanticism, symbolism and surrealism. But it is necessary to look much further, more attentively. Lorca's fauna is not innocent, it is not gratuitous. His bestiary and the artifices of plastic virtuosity are always at the service of a purpose that moves away from playful symbolism to offer us a discourse of remarkable sensitivity, which runs through
his entire production like a thread that guides us through the labyrinth. We could think of this young painter as Saint-Saëns of painting. Tigers, cats, oxen, flamingos, geese, dogs and all the fantastic animals represent different aspects of the human condition. There is loyalty, histrionics, madness and honesty.
Lorca's themes, constructed through artifices of contrast and tension, often speak to us about the balance between strength and fragility, about the frontier between power and innocence. They speak openly of the fragility of the human condition. His scenes of fairy flavour combine a great deal of jungle movement and turmoil with a kind of domestic serenity, a kind of cinematic timelessness. And in that context, we always see the outline of violence looming explicitly or implicitly.
