“In Madrid, nobody goes to bed before the night has ended” E. Hemingway

Something very dark is happening in THE MADRILEÑER… OPERATION MADRID!

The hidden Madrid, of spies, intrigue and mysteries. The Madrid of long nights, when the portals of the Plaza Mayor were witness to clandestine meetings, between glasses of good wine, card games and flamenco.

The story reminds us of two lovers who do not want to be seen together, but who leave signals and clues to finally meet each other. The famous Mata Hari and the writer Enrique Gómez Carrillo lived a torrid romance and met in Madrid around 1916; Operación Madrid imagines and recreates them, hidden under the shadows of the Cuchilleros arch, at one in the afternoon, at "cigar time".

In Marco Lawrence’s Madrid, the light is harsh and relentlessly raw. Whether it’s the clarity of the cold winter sun or the intense heat of summer, Madrid’s light is bold and graphic. It creates the most fantastical spotlights and the sharpest shadows. It paints angular shapes on facades and casts inky pools of darkness in corners.

This print is a love letter to Madrid. And now it can be yours.
