Carlos Enrique Polanco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carlos Enrique Polanco is a Peruvian pop impressionist painter. Since his beginnings he was attracted to the less privileged urban sectors of Lima City. When he studied in School of Fine Arts, his work reflected the iconography and dolor of the Peruvian urban night life. Polanco is an artist with a social comment.
Polanco gained a scholarship to study in China, where he remained a considerable time. Then, he went to Germany with a new shrill and whining, but slender painting style.
Polanco is a cartoonist of contemporary Latin American society, portraying survivors of the urban flight, becoming the winners of the so-called battle.
In Peruvian expresionismo indigenista art history, Polanco is continuing the path of painters like Julia Codesido, Sérvulo Gutiérrez, Víctor Humareda and David Herskovitz.
