L'horitzó abstracte

Romà Vallès (Barcelona, 1923–2015) is one of the most representative artists of contemporary Catalan visual art and one of the precursors of abstract art in Catalonia. A pioneer of Catalan informalism, his work evolved through different consecutive series across chronological periods, each closely interrelated with his biography. This exhibition proposes a journey through his abstract legacy, sets out an itinerary across more than sixty years of research, and reviews the most significant stages of his intense artistic career. An incessant search that demonstrates the firmness, constancy and dedication of rigorous work that has culminated in crucial results. The selection of works traces his vital contribution, especially where the painter shows great freedom of approach. A guiding thread is established as the backbone of his entire discourse, in which the line and the stain, the matter and the colour are the defining elements of his experimentation, and which suggests both microcosmic and macrocosmic spaces, in open views of infinite readings. The curators are Conxita Oliver and Bel Vallès. More information: Facebook of the Fundació Vila Casas Instagram of the Fundació Vila Casas
