Félix de la Concha
“It is Félix de la Concha’s exceptional achievement to have reinvigorated this centuries-old tradition with a contemporary understanding of the possibilities of painting.”
Mark Francis, Gagosian Gallery Director, London

“His canvases, recording subtle fluctuations of light and color, show his extraordinary assurance as a colorist and draftsman, characteristics for which he has become well-known across the United States and Spain.”
Dartmouth Club of the Upper Valley

“In his paintings, he continues the tradition of realism that extends back to Spanish masters like Diego Velazquez, augmented by superb technique and powers of observation. . . By his own intense, dogged observations, and by tweaking perspective -- sometimes differently in adjacent canvases – he makes the viewer aware of the complexities of looking and of seeing. Or of not seeing. . .By blending familiar subject matter and academic refinement, he presents a consideration of architecture and place that raises intriguing questions about perception.”
Mary Thomas, Post-Gazette Art Critic

“His consistent approach to his subject, his impressive command of perspective, his expert handling of both draftsmanship and the oil medium, and his sense of light and color give the paintings the illusion of reality. Only upon careful analysis does one appreciate the conceptual virtuosity of the work and its overall rhythmic quality.”
Annegreth Nill
Curator of 20th Century and Contemporary Art, Columbus Museum of Art

“His eye for light is nuanced, so each view truly reflects a particular moment, not the era’s will to eternity. And yet his brushwork is also breezily masterful.”
Charles Rosenblum, Pittsburgh City Paper

“His works become documents of time and place, and un-romanticized metaphors for individual lives and the greater community.”
Hank T. Foreman, Director and Chief Curator
Turchin Center for the Visual Arts
