Patterns focuses on the recent paintings by Spanish artist CarlosSagrera, who lives and works in Leipzig, Germany. Sagrera is a youngtalent and belongs to a new generation of contemporary painterswho is inspired by the New Leipzig School. We follow the painterin his quest for fading memories and capturing human mannerisms.He focuses on characteristic behavioural and organisational structuresthat, when recurrent, turn into patterns. These patterns condenseinto the essence of expressive form and are thus able to survivethe passing of time.Through the growing oeuvre of Sagrera’s work we see a passionate,hard-working artist who continues to build on his chosen path butdoes not shy away from experimentation. We hope that this book isthe next step in contributing to the widely supported recognition ofCarlos Sagrera as a major artist of our time.
