New collection of works by Eduardo Arranz-Bravo at Franklin Bowles Galleries

NEW YORK, NY.- Franklin Bowles Galleries announces the opening of a new collection of works by Eduardo Arranz-Bravo. The joint exhibition features works on canvas and paper along with a series of unusual sculptures and drawings. Within the Spanish context, Eduardo Arranz-Bravo is amongst the most representative artists of his generation. His work breaks with the dramatic, transcendent painting of postwar Spain (represented by Tàpies and the informalist generation) and instead reflects a passion for color, a return to the figurative and a multidisciplinary approach to the arts. His work represents a rebellious, festive generation during the final years of the Franco dictatorship and the early years of the transition to democracy. It was during those years that painting left its traditional form to experiment with other techniques: etching, sculpture, drawing and, in some cases, even performance and film-making.
