Romà Vallès, lhoritzó 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 a succession of linked series across chronological periods, each closely interrelated with his biography.The exhibition Romà Vallès, l'horitzó abstracte 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. A relentless quest that demonstrates the firmness, constancy and dedication of rigorous work that has culminated in crucial results. The selection of the show follows his vital contribution, especially where the painter displays 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 gazes of infinite readings.Exhibition curated by Conxita Oliver and Bel Vallès.
