On July 31, 2010, Brilliance In Color Gallery opened “Blancos” (Whites), an exhibition of paintings by contemporary Spanish figurative painter, Royo. This exhibition comprises 35 new oil paintings on canvas together with a selection of drawings, bronze sculptures and serigraphs. Royo has passionately and wholeheartedly dedicated the last 30 years of his career to the same subject matter: the female form. This new collection of paintings combines formal elements with a subtlety of the contemporary master’s eye. The “whites are composed of a thousand whites”, as Royo notes.
