Back in the real world, the position that Lorca’s works have been afforded in Barcelona’s Moco Museum is a testament to his status in contemporary art. In a collection comprised almost exclusively of modern art’s most influential figures, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Banksy, the dedicated Lorca room is perhaps the most affecting that the building offers. When surrounded on all sides by these vast canvases, one can’t help but feel immersed in their fantastical world. As majestic beasts wreak havoc and unphased children watch on blankly, the atmosphere lands somewhere between awe-inspiring and horrifying.
