“WHEN PICASSO MEETS YEATS”
Enrique Lazzaro is an expressionist painter that has been into different styles from the picassian cubism, impressionism, expressionism till the abstract expressionism where human figure is actually one of his main topics and he finds very intriguing melting the human figure into the landscapes or indoor scenarios like the master Jack B. Yeats.
Originally from Barcelona, Enrique moved to Ireland in 2008 where he got the magic inspiration he needed to become a serious Artist. He also discovered other Irish artists and absorbed the Irish culture to create new perceptions, you could see that the green colour is in almost all his paintings, experts would call it “Green Period”, as the green colour stands up from the Irish landscapes, which are clearly in Enrique’s subconscious.
Enrique has exhibitted in many galleries in Europe such as La Fruteria in Barcelona, Lá Perrockia Barcelona, Denis Collins Gallery in Wexford Ireland, Fusion Cafe Wexford, The Gaslamp Gallery Gorey Ireland, Westgate Gallery Wexford, Via Venetto Restaurant Gallery Gorey….

Enrique Lazzaro was born in Barcelona in 1974 and since he was a child had a great devotion for drawing and looking at the great painters work to learn their techniques. He had a great art teacher who was his father that had very good skills and taste for arts. Enrique started making caricatures for events at the weekends when he was only 18 years old, later he got very good skills as a graphic designer and as a photographer. In 2008 he decided to paint to explore his creativity and since then his creativity has been growing up gradually inspired by great artists like Picasso ,Jack B. Yeats, Cezanne, Tapies, Joan Miro… so he absorbs their technique and steals the essence to create another magic scenario …
Lazzaro’s art dealer Denis Collins wrote this about him:
“Perhaps is not difficult to find something short to say about Lazzaro but once you look at his art work …it certanly is . The rich and erratic variety of his creations makes it unseizable in a few phrases. It burns with incandescent brilliance, and the lenses of his expression revolve about it as in a lighthouse. Only one thing is lasting and certain : the white glow in the heart of the whole intricate paraphernalia.
And Lazzaro doesn’t help us. He announces no theories, he pours out what he feels without concerning himself further; he feels it, and that is enough.
Critics want theories, they must have explanations to account for these reactions…
Lazzaro is unpredictable. He remarks he doesn’t have style and keeps experimenting,that is what makes this artist very interesting.”
His first exhibition was at the University of Barcelona 1996 where he showed some drawings and caricatures.
In 2005 Lazzaro did a Photographic Exhibition called ‘Beautiful Visions’ at La Fruteria Art Gallery.
