Edgar Sánchez

Edgar Sánchez shaped major developments in 20th century Venezuelan art. His influence continues unabated in the 21st century and he has made some of the “most important works of international figurative art in recent decades”. Most recently, the exquisite poetic dimension of his landscapes brings the emotional depth of a great symphony into colours, shapes and forms. The work is so radical that it can be said to reconstruct the notion of landscape so that “the paint begins to vibrate and live independently, with unprecedented power”.
