About the Item

Free shipment worldwide. Acquired directly from the artist. Painted on the sides. No frame needed. The work of Antonio de Felipe is a constant source of fascination and surprises. It is a great pleasure to witness how the artist’s inge-nious world of ideas and his sense of humour are constantly evolving. Antonio de Felipe was born in Valencia in 1965. Ever since a very young age he has felt an artistic drive that led him to earn a fine arts degree at the University of Valencia. During his studies he worked as a creative designer in an advertising agency which undoubtedly influenced what would be his future pictorial style. In 1996 he moved to Madrid where he has his studio. Antonio de Felipe has developed his extensive work in different series. His subject worlds form a surprising genre blend, a linking of series characters, classical art and commercialism side by side with contemporary icon worship. His motifs are often painted in constellations that pay homage to great artists, including Velázquez, Picasso, Mondrian and others. Many of his works exhibit an ingenious ability to express powerful paradoxes. One example of this can be seen in the paraphrase on Diego Velázquez famous Las Meninas (Spanish for The Maids of Honour), painted in 1656. Instead of the glass of cold, perfumed water in the original, Antonio de Felipe places a Fanta soft drink in the hand of the young Spanish princess Margarita. The painting is part of the series LOGOTIPOS (logos) devoted to the world of art and advertising. This series was followed by VACAS (cows), with paintings such as Vaca Vogue, a pink cow on the cover of a Vogue magazine. Then, CINEMASPOP where actors like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn among others were revived as pop icons, with well-known creations such as Black Audrey. In 2009 Antonio de Felipe presented POPSPORT in which the artist mixes the world of sport with cartoons and art history, uch as in La carrera where Picasso’s Demoiselles d’Avignon are participating in a run at a stadium. And latest, the LPop series where the artist is playing with the motifs and titles of famous LP album covers, such as Bad Bart where Bart Simpson is accompanying Michael Jackson on his album Bad. During the twenty years which have spanned his intense professional career, Antonio de Felipe has participated in over seventy solo exhibitions both in Spain and abroad, and in many other collective exhibitions, such as in La Casa de Vacas in Madrid, Museu Picasso in Barcelona, Museo de la Ciudad in Valencia, Bilbao Bizkaia Kutxa (BBK) Foundation and at the Soma Museum of Art in Seoul, as well as in important galleries such as in Galerie Levy in Hamburg, Galerie Terminus in Munich, Andipa Gallery in London, FMR (Franco Maria Ricci) in Rome and Lee Gallery in Seoul, among others. Together with William Sweetlove, Cecilia Cubarle, Philippe Huart and MariaManuela, among others, Antonio de Felipe is one of the members in the group Les nouveauX pop, which has had several exhibitions in Europe and Asia.

Antonio de Felipe

Antonio De Felipe was born in València, in 1965. Even from a young age, this multi-talented young man had artistic tendencies which led him to study fine arts in València. His work as an advertising agency creative designer during his studies undoubtedly influenced what would be his future pictorial style. He has been living and working in Madrid for over a decade. During the 20 years of his intense professional career, Antonio de Felipe has participated in over 70 solo exhibitions, both in Spain and abroad as well as many collective exhibitions such as “La Casa de Vacas” and “La Galleria Seiquer” in Madrid, “La Galleria Maria José” and “Castellvi” and “el Museu Picasso” in Barcelona In addition to his strong national and international presence, he has also participated in fairs such as ARCO, ART COLOGNE, ART PARIS, ART Brussels, ST-ART Strasbourg and Korea International Art Fair which are regarded as benchmark fairs for discovering the latest trends. De Felipe has developed his extensive work in different series, many of which have become reference points making him one of the most imitated artists in the country. His most important series include LOGOTIPOS (Logos) which was devoted to the world of art and advertising which included works such as la Infanta de Naranja (the Orange Fanta Princess) and El Buen Pastor con Norit (the Good Shepherd with Norit) and VACAS (Cows), with pictures such as la Vaca Vogue or the sculpture Vaca Coca Cola. CINEMASPOP was devoted to the world of cinema and where Audrey Hepburn was revived as a pop icon through his creations such as Black Audrey and Desayuno con Diamantes para la Eternidad (Breakfast with Diamonds are Forever) and POP SPORT, his latest works devoted to the world of sport in which de Filipe mixes the world of art and cartoons with references to various sports, such as in Menina con Chándal (Menina with Tracksuit). The success of de Felipe’s career has, without doubt, turned him into one of the world’s most iconic pop artists; attested to by the fact that he is the only Spanish representative in the exhibition on “Marilyn Monroe: Life as a Legend”, which toured all the major European cities, the USA and Canada. As a multidisciplinary artist, de Felipe has not limited himself to just painting or sculpture in the strictest sense of the word but has also shown his rare talent in other fields. He worked with Pedro Almodóvar in the film Carne Trémula, he has created image merge transitions for Telemadrid and designed tableware for the firm Santa Clara as well as posters and album covers and worked with major publications such as ByN Dominical, El País, El Magazine from El Mundo newspaper, Marie Claire, Elle, Qué leer and Rolling Stone Magazine. Antonio de Felipe’s skill as a portrait artist should not be discounted either, one of his paintings, commissioned by the ABC newspaper, is a portrait of his Highness Prince Felipe de Borbón, to commemorate his 40th birthday. His work is currently exhibited in both public and private institutions such as Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Institut Valencià d'Art Modern, the Sydney Besthoff Foundation in New Orleans, the Col·lecció Testimoni from the Fundación La Caixa, the Carmen, Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, the Kneip Art Collection in Luxemburg and the Montblanc Cultural Foundation.
