Menéndez Pelayo International University yesterday gave the painter Antonio López Medal of Honor, along with the sculptor Julio López.
The artist runs a paint shop in which students moved to the techniques that have made him one of the references to English painting, and also teaches them about the "risks", experiences and difficulties that young artists can be found in his career.
he know that he took a brush for the first time at age thirteen and is able to invest 30 years in a painting. " my butt for a work are the circumstances or exhaustion," says .
Prince of Asturias Award for Arts, Antonio López has received the Medal of Honor UIMP, where he teaches a workshop this week paint a group of young people. - What has been painting since he picked up the brush at age 13?
-A contact with the world and knowledge of some phenomenal people could not have taken it through it. The painting is very intimate. The most wonderful thing about art is that everything can be done in any situation, even in war.
- Is it all in art?
-art in the past had to be something that illuminate life. Now I could be so and may simply shocks you. Have wiped out many artistic boundaries, anything goes, but not all, there are things I hate and others argue. Mine does not fit all.
- And Dali worth?
"Yes. There is a Dali, a Chagall, which is the puppet and clown, but you can not live a life so long in this attitude as clean and pure. There is a courageous step of Dalí, of finding things difficult and one from Dali sinvergonzón and amoral. You go after the other but when someone does something good is thanks. Dali has done great things, but some of his work can be burned.
- Is ashamed of some of his paintings?
-In several. Years ago I developed a retrospective at the Reina Sofía (1993) and I decided displaying all, that is, take off my pants and you see his ass. Walls had not wanted to look, others that it was a pleasure to see them, but they are works that I have done, are a part of me.
What about the appointment of Martinez to the Reina Sofía Aguilar?
"Very good, very good friend and very good professional. The important thing here is money, economic opportunity with museums, so the great American museums have such fantastic things for the pasta. In Spain we can not afford a Picasso four billion.
- What are they hiding behind that appearance of objects of everyday life that fascinate him so much?
- There are times when we perceive things really disturbing, surprising, extraordinary and the artist has the ability to realize that feeling. Given the painful and beautiful things in the world we all feel like.
-You work calmly and come to spend 30 years working in a table. What do you mark that a work is completed?
"With peace, in haste or anxiety, but I have the feeling of calm. Invest the necessary time in a work, even centuries. The paper concludes by many different causes, my butt is the circumstances or the inability to continue, the exhaustion.
