Exclusive Representation
We are pleased to announce that the Aldo Castillo Gallery has been appointed by their estates to represent the modern works of Guatemalan Rodolfo Abularach and of South African artist Lorna Marsh.
Rodolfo Abularach, Guatemala City, Guatemala 1942-2022 is considered to be one of Latin America’s most distinguished Masters He won international recognition with his dramatic images of the human eye. His works are included in the permanent collections of museums including Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the MoMa – Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Museum of the Americas, Washington, DC.
Lorna Marsh, Cape Town, South Africa 1949-2022. She is considered one of the most important female artists of our time. She was a keen thinker and delighted in testing boundaries, which is reflected in her art. Internationally celebrated, her works were often confrontational and explored such themes as mankind’s destructive relationship with nature. Her painting of a lion’s head on a stake planted in a scorched landscape comes to mind.
