Emilio Villalba
“Trip to the Museum” Contemporary Green & Orange Abstract Surrealist Painting

2019

About the Item

Colorful surrealist abstract painting by contemporary artist Emilio Villalba. The work features a central "painting" with a nude leaning onto it that is surrounded by a variety of objects including a corded telephone, a fly, a sock, a lit match, a floating eye, and Advil tablets. Signed, titled, and dated on the reverse. Currently hung in a white floating frame. Dimensions Without Frame: H 36 in. x W 48 in. Artist Biography: Emilio Villalba’s ever-evolving painting practice addresses the varied anxieties of modern life. Inspired by the work of Rembrandt and Velázquez, the artist first gained renown for unnerving portraiture that depicted fractured faces and floating body parts against stark black and white grounds. Villalba has since embraced more familiar domestic scenes, which nevertheless preserve his thickly impasto brushstrokes and signature sense of unease. Villalba earned his BFA at the Art Institute of California before pursuing his MFA at the Academy of Art University. Since graduating, he has exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Montreal, and Denver and collaborated with Valentino on a capsule collection.
