Chilean artist Guillermo Lorca’s Bird of Paradise was created for a past solo exhibition at Asprey in London. As in his other works, the women in this painting dominate the situation despite a hostile environment. He says, “What interests me most apart from the technical processes of painting is that the symbols interact with each other in such a way that they reach the point of insinuating feelings and producing contradictions just and necessary to touch the viewer’s sensitive fibers.” —
