Phil Frost's exhibition The Lion Approaches at CAC Málaga presents a retrospective of his work over the past two decades, with a strong focus on pieces created between 2016 and 2021. Known for his layered, intricate paintings, Frost integrates found objects and symbols into vibrant compositions that combine the raw energy of street art with a refined visual complexity. This exhibit highlights his unique “intuitive portraits,” where tribal and totemic influences emerge from his textured surfaces, inviting viewers to experience his layered approach to memory and identity.
madFaber aided the artist in encapsulating found objects on top of his paintings in clear resin. The works were then photographed and installed at the gallery.
