Lino Lago is a Spanish-born artist, who continuously pushes the boundaries of contemporary art practices. He explores the juxtapositions that arose between the formal realism of classic art and the abstract aesthetics of contemporary art. The distinctly bold abstract line disturbs the conventional portrait form, imitating the mark of a digital brush. But in doing so, Lago re-claims traditional artistic methods and critiques the contemporary art world’s notions of operating outside of any historical context.
Lago has received a number of prizes and mentions such as the Vilnius City Arts Award in Lithuania and the Artist Award under 25 years of the Buen Retiro Park in Madrid. His work is also present in public collections, including the Harvard Business School in Boston and the Flint Institute of Arts, USA.
