Ramiro Fernandez Saus

At 45 years old, Ramiro Fernandez Saus has become one of the most illustrious Spanish artists of his generation. In 2005 he was given a retrospective at the Museum of Sabadell and his works are in the collections of the Reine Sofia in Madrid, and the Albertina Museum in Vienna. After it leaves Long & Ryle, Joie de Vivre will be travelling on to the Naughton Gallery at Queen’s University, Belfast.

His paintings are inescapably charming. Tigers, monkeys, parrots, zebras and sailors are amongst the cast, all happily playing in exotic lands, in country houses, and on sea voyages. Even the interiors are undiscovered landscapes: wallpaper patterns become jungles; a captain’s cabin is hung with framed paintings of his ship on storm-tossed seas.

Please contact Sarah Long, Carolyn Ryle Hodges, or Ruth Knox for further information.
