Carlos Sagrera 1987
Lives in Leipzig. Works in Leipzig (Spinnerei).
Represented by:
Rutger Brandt Gallery
Carlos Sagrera, who lives and works in Leipzig, Germany, is a young talent and belongs to a new generation of contemporary painters who are
inspired by the New Leipzig School, many of whom also live in the former cotton factory in
Leipzig; Die Spinnerei.
Sagrera works on the basis of an old family photo archive, yet in his current interiors he also incorporates images from a more recent past; images combined with memories
of places he lived or where friends once lived. The hyperrealistic details in Sagrera's work are
on an exceptionally high artistic level, but true excitement unfolds when common and
recognizable motifs are translated into abstract streaks of color. Razor-sharp realism is still perceivable in his work, and at the same time, abstraction plays an ever more important role. Despite his young age, he seems to have found himself as a painter; Sagrera is more aware of his own signature, his own style.

About
Museum Voorlinden
Carlos Sagrera focuses on the pictorial representation of spaces he has lived in, from his childhood to the present. He works from a photographic archive but also with his own experiences of actual life in these places.
Sagrera is very interested in the painters of the Golden Age. The history of art, the passing of time, domestic weathering, the collective and the own memory and everyday life are recurring themes in his work.
