Urcolo
Born in 1938, Santurce (Vizcaya)
Studied
art spontaneously in Austrian mining village, where he
spent all his childhood and youth.
After
experiencing a brief stay in the realms of non-formalism,
Urcolo has remained faithful to realism. For a long time,
he cultivated a certain expressionistic realism, of clear
Spanish precedence.
These
works reflected the words and encouragement of Jose
Ortega. Later on, when he had matured and was more certain
of his way, Urcolo launched into a phase of deliberate ant
aestheticism, making sure that his reasoning should not be
put off the track by his painting.
In
1970s, his realism had become more symbolist; although at
the same time was also bitterer, more aggressive, more
blatant.
