FRANCISCO RODRÍGUEZ LOBO (Cantillana, Seville, 1965)."Old station".Oil on wood.Signed in the lower right corner.Measurements: 61 x 75 cm.Finalist in the Virgen de las Viñas International Painting Competition. A painter specialising in landscape, although he also tackles other themes such as still life, Francisco Rodríguez Lobo belongs to the Sevillian school of reality, and is currently considered one of its most brilliant representatives. Throughout his career, Rodríguez Lobo has held almost forty solo exhibitions, as well as taking part in more than fifty group shows throughout Spain. Among the most recent is the solo exhibition held at the Haurie gallery in Seville in 2014. He has taken part in numerous competitions, winning first prize in the IV Certamen Provincial de Dibujo de Sevilla (1982), the prize at the Caja Rural Exhibition in the same city (1994) and the Medalla de Honor Premio BMW in 2011, a competition in which he had been a finalist the previous year. This painter develops a luminist and calm work, generally contemplative landscapes that invite to silent meditation, melancholic recreation and slowness. Rodríguez Lobo is currently represented in important private collections such as those of the Duchess of Alba, Wuttemberg, the Confederation of Andalusian Businessmen and Caja Rural.
