Costa News Spain: Layered art in Hotel Lima Marbella

Large-scale media manipulation through the press inspires ‘News’, by José María Llobell, the second exhibition of the year in which Hotel Lima celebrates its sixtieth anniversary and the eighteenth of the series of exhibitions curated by Paco Sanguino for Lima Contemporánea.

This one ‘News’ brings together fifteen works, in mixed media or oil on canvas, that are inspired by expressionist figuration with a pinch of the iconic, given that Llobell interprets his works as prints of collective memory through printed press, decomposing them into marks of his own unique style, with a buildup of semi-transparent layers one on top of the other.

José María Llobell, born in Tetuán but raised in Marbella, has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Seville and currently works as a Baccalaureate teacher in the Art modality at the Río Verde Institute.

The exhibition is free to enter at the Marbella Hotel Lima on Avenida Antonio Belón next to Parque de la Alameda until February 28.
