4me4you recently stepped inside the ever-inspiring RHODES Contemporary Art gallery to explore CTRL+Paint, the latest solo exhibition by internationally acclaimed Spanish artist Lino Lago.
This powerful body of work challenges the way we consume, interpret, and interact with images in the digital age.
CTRL+Paint, is a striking continuation of Lago’s ongoing exploration into the tension between classical art and contemporary image-making.
In this new series, Lago delves deeper into his signature dialogue with art history. His classically rendered portraits, elegant and meticulously painted, re disrupted by bold, digital-style gestures that cut sharply across the canvas.
These interruptions, reminiscent of brushstrokes in image-editing software or glitch-like effects, mimic the aesthetics of modern technology. They suggest swipes, erasures, and overlays, visual language borrowed from the digital tools we use every day.
Adding to this complex interplay, Lago introduces gold leaf into many of his compositions. Once a symbol of sacred art in religious iconography, gold here also nods to the extravagance and spectacle of modern culture. In Lago’s hands, it becomes both reverent and rebellious, elevating and obscuring in equal measure, while drawing attention to the physical act of painting.
His use of saturated colour fields, bright, flat, and graphically precise stands in deliberate contrast to the classical figures they partially conceal. These bold visual intrusions feel at once elegant and aggressive, suggesting the fractured nature of our contemporary relationship with images. What does it truly mean to see art when so much of our visual experience is filtered, edited, and consumed digitally?
With CTRL+Paint, Lino Lago offers more than a critique, he proposes a new visual language. One that embraces contradiction, celebrates tradition, and confronts the realities of a pixel-dominated world. The exhibition is a compelling reflection on how classical beauty persists—and mutates—within the framework of contemporary visual culture.

I took my students into the the Bullring to have a look at what was available in the bookshops. We were outside having a cup of coffee in our break and I asked Steve to pose for this shot.
