Angel Haro

"In search of common sense and utopia, I believe that there is a territory where it is good living and which one remembered without shame."

Notes of biography

Angel Haro is born in Valencia (Spain) in 1958. He spends part of his childhood in Paris, his family later moves to Murcia, where as a young man, he studies architecture. Today versatile artist, he has an international career for 20 years now, not only as a painter and sculptor, but also as a director (including theater). Haro is also artistic director of theater, film director and set designer.
His first solo exhibition is held in Murcia in 1979. His painted or carved work is regularly the subject of solo exhibitions in Spain (Madrid, Valencia, Murcia, Albacete, etc.) and abroad (Chicago, New York, Paris, South Africa, Italy, Dominican Republic, Lithuania, Belgium, etc.); the famous Marlborough Gallery in Madrid has exhibited him in 2001, as - among others, the museum of Riga and the Italian Institute of Modern Art in Monza. Similarly, his work contributes to the largest international exhibitions of contemporary art (as, for example, ARCO Madrid, Art Miami, Milan MIART or the Almería Biennial).
Notice that Angel Haro builds, alongside his painting, graphic works. In this regard, we note that the artist receives the first prize for etching from the Spanish Contemporary Engravings Museum of Marbella (Malaga, 1994); the artist creates prints across multiple media creation: serigraphs, etchings, lithograph, individual prints or portfolio. Similarly, he publishes several pieces of work of books-lover and creates many graphic works of art for private as for public order. Angel Haro creates numerous works in mixed media on paper, as well as many collages, drawings in charcoal and ink.
First figurative artist, since several years, he turns toward abstraction, the Spanish artist builds obviously a very personal masterpiece, mysterious and poetic; Angel Haro works most often in series. Angel Haro lives and works in Murcia.

Artists on display

The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.

Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.

We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
