revolutionary artist uxeta labrit   His paintings were shown for the first time in a small London gallery in 1957. Art critics used terms such as “abstract lyric work” or “radical expressionism” to define his style. He soon became famous, and his work and name were known by many in art enviroments. In the early 60’s, although this hasn’t been yet confirmed, it seemed like Picasso and Miró bought some of his work. Experts emphasize this artist’s tendency towards Pollock’s “abstract expressionism” in several articles. There was a big controversy when London Institute of Contemporary Arts showed his works of art. However, there was no doubt; the official artistic circle had already accepted it.
This revolutionary artist died seven years after the first exhibition in that small gallery. There is almost no work kept from the time when he was not famous. And, even though he created many works of art during those seven years, the irregularity of his work left different kinds of unclassifiable pieces of art. Since then, the monetary value of his work has increased. In 2005, the American collector Howard Hong paid 25,000 dollars for 3 of his paintings.
