GUILLERMO LORCA BEYOND THE WONDER
The Palace Curated by Dr. Eliana Urbano Raimondi, Professor Dominique Lora, and Dr. Micol di Veroli.
Guillermo Lorca. Beyond the Wonder heralds the entry of the talented Chilean artist Guillermo Lorca (b.1984) into the European institutional art system, presenting for the first time in a European public museum a body of work that explores his surreal, seductive, and at times disturbing psycho-pictorial universe.
A series of large-scale paintings projects the visitors into a dimension “other”, by exploring themes such as faith, death, tradition, identity, and family, drawing inspiration from the world of dreams, fairy tales, and folklore. In his compositions, human figures—often children or young girls—coexist with wild or exotic animals such as wolves, bears, birds, tigers, and panthers, creating a contrast between innocence and ferocity. This dreamlike universe evokes a sense of wonder, but also of latent danger. These images also recall Baroque aesthetics, thanks to a masterful use of chiaroscuro and theatrical compositional techniques…
This original exhibition is based on a common thread that has always run through the Chilean master’s work, including works ranging from his earliest works from 2012 to his latest unpublished works from 2025, thus establishing a poetic and stylistic coherence. The exhibition features 17 large canvases from prestigious international collections.
