In an interview with Leonhard Emmerling before his 2009 St Paul St Gallery exhibition, Alberto Garcia-Alvarez described his visual needs as being “… what my eyes need to see in form, tone and colour in order to compensate; to create my harmony. Each one of us has an accumulation of visual experiences: studies of the human figure, composition and use of colour; light … I need to see things in a particular relation, order or disorder, in a particular mood of light, blacks and ochre. A happy white, a dramatic mess of incoherent gestures. Sadness or indifference.”
