Great article. I started looking up Antonio Lopez Garcia after I came across an astonishing painting of an Iris of his. Beautiful color, gorgeously simple. I was stunned. I had seen that show in Boston in 2008. I saw that he was that rara Avis, an artist with a deep feeling and honesty about painting. However I’m afraid I was not taken by them as they seemed to be all mud colored landscapes. I wish I had the sophistication to examine them more.
His florals are delicious with the most delicacy of color and design.
The measuring part is impressive. I thought I was nuts to be so excessive.
Thanks for this great piece.

This is the most amazing article Dean. I would be reading a lot more of the writing of art critics if they were as heartfelt and relatable to artists as this. Well done Painting Perceptions for your website and this golden nugget!

Like ALG, Dean Fisher is one of the most ambitious, passionate, driven painters working today.

Don’t know why I didn’t see it before, but the other connection between these two is in that wonderful “earthbound quality “in their works, noted in the article as well.

Thank You, Jo and Dean, for giving a glimpse into the thought and personality of this artist we all love!
