"If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. This seems to be the pretext that Fernando García has applied to his recent work. He recently moved his studio from José del Rio Street in the Madrid neighborhood of Urgel to a new house in the country, located in the Los Endrinales area of the town Miraflores de la Sierra. Not being from a small town and never having had any roots in the countryside, this move has been a significant event for him. Consequently his decisions, materials and content have been determined by his surroundings at every moment. A detailed look at local culture and tradition are the result of this reflection. Our worthy heritage, as portrayed through its customs, makes up the artist’s first solo show at the Heinrich Ehrhardt Gallery."
