The Costus - Las Costus

Hello All.

Enrique Naya Igueravide and Juan Jose Carrero Galofre's artistic name was Costus. Both of them were painters and partners in life though out their life. During what it was called La Movida there were a few artists in Spain that in my opinion have changed the way art was till then. One of them are The Costus. 

One was painted figure and the other the background. That way was completely innovative in Spain and it really worked for them. Although the both had died tragically, during their last 10 years of their life they have produced the most amazing pieces of art, although they were not known by the general public. 


Hola a todos.

Las costus como se les conocia artísticamente eran Enrique Naya Igueravide y Juan Jose Carrero Galofre.  Ambos pintores y compañeros en vida hasta prácticamente su muerte. Durante el periodo que se llamo La Movida, había un pequeño grupo de artistas que cambiaron, en mi opinion,  de la manera que se veia al arte de Espana hasta entonces. Por lo menos en pintura. Uno de esos fue Las Costus. 

Uno pintaba a las personas y el otro el fondo. Fue algo que no se había visto hasta entonces y sencillamente funcionaba con ellos. Aunque los dos acabaron tragicamente, durante los últimos diez anos de sus vidas pintaron algunas de las mas interesantes obras aunque no muy conocidos por el publico en general.
