Lino Lago
Lino Lago’s wryly referential practice explores the history of painting from classical figurative portraiture to Minimalism and beyond. Lago is best known for his “Fake Abstract” series, in which snippets of paintings made to resemble the Old Masters are revealed via thick gestural marks in otherwise flat, chromatic canvases; the figuration appears to be hidden underneath solid planes of color. Lago’s work references the conceptual and material evolution of painting over time, with the contrast between old and new styles prompting a conversation on aesthetic shifts through the ages. Lago has exhibited in New York, London, Los Angeles, Paris, Miami, Montreal, and Madrid among others.
