Antón Lamazares is a painter, sculptor and engraver of anarchic formation and life, whose work is characterized by an expressionist style and, later, informalist. He began his career in Galicia and soon achieved international recognition, exhibiting in cities such as Madrid, Buenos Aires, New York and several European capitals. He became known in group exhibitions in Vigo in 1973 and made his individual debut in Santiago de Compostela a year later. Throughout the 80's he consolidated his prestige with international exhibitions and participation in relevant shows, becoming a key figure in young Spanish painting before the age of thirty.
Antón Lamazares is represented in important collections, including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, as well as in Galician contemporary art museums and international collections.
