Description
Doble Fantomas, an etching of 2007 by Eduardo Arroyo (Madrid, 1937-2018), on a horizontal sheet of 50 by 70 cm, in an edition of one hundred. Fantomas, the masked criminal invented by Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre in 1911, became an emblem for the surrealists and later for the European avant-garde generally, and Arroyo returned to the figure repeatedly. Arroyo left Spain for Paris in 1958 and remained in exile for much of the Franco period, becoming with Gilles Aillaud and Antonio Recalcati one of the principal figures of narrative figuration, a tendency that used a deliberately impersonal, illustrational style to deliver political and literary content. His work is dense with quotation from literature, boxing, cinema and painting itself. The doubling announced in the title belongs to that method of repetition and displacement.
Presentation
Born in Madrid, in 1937, he leaves Franco?s Spain and moves to Paris in 1958.
His work has some militant and violently critical stages, but also some funny or more tender stages.
Themes such as the role of the painter in society and the situation of the exiled intellectual generated some narratively rich artworks of his.
Spain?s return to democracy made him leave aside the revolutionary and accusatory side of his paintings and brought about an evolution in his questioning of the role of painting.
He rediscovers Spain, falls in love with the country again and becomes sensitive to the Spanish clichés; in Madrid-Paris-Madrid, the cities that marked his life, he represents a decor of an arena in red and yellow.
