GABINO REY SANTIAGO (Marín, Pontevedra, 1928 - Barcelona, 2006). "My daughter Irene", 1990. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Measurements: 92 x 72 cm; 105 x 86 cm (frame). When he was still a child, at the end of the Civil War, Gabino Rey moved to Barcelona with his family. A disciple of Ramón Rogent, he began to exhibit at a very young age, at the Youth Salon of 1943. He continued to take part in this Salon, where he won a prize in 1946. In the forties he obtained a grant from the French Government, and exhibited in the Barcelona galleries Dalmau (1946) and Syra (1947). From 1957 onwards he exhibited at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, as well as at the Madrid gallery El Cisne. He was awarded prizes at the III Exposición Universal de la Unión del Arte, in Bilbao (1947), and in 1980 with the Poussiel Prize of the Societé Nationale des Beaux Arts, in Paris. Together with the Sala Parés group, he showed his work not only in Barcelona, but also in Madrid, Alicante, Pontevedra and Lugo, as well as in New York, Los Angeles and Paris. He is represented in the Museums of Lugo, Pontevedra, Marín and Sitges, and in important institutional and private collections in Europe and America. His style, with its post-impressionist roots, is loosely executed. Gabino is a painter who likes the material, the impastoed brushstroke, which he applies following a warm and balanced palette. He has worked in landscape and still life, but he stands out especially as a portraitist, with intimate and lyrical works, in which he mixes what he has learnt from the Catalan and Galician schools.
