Expressionismes figuratius II

This is the second exhibition that the Marc Domènech Gallery dedicates to the series Figurative Expressionisms. It brings together a group of works by artists who explore figurative painting from an expressionist perspective. The selected pieces share the need to represent the human figure from a perspective that is both free and disturbing, which, through an almost primitive expressiveness, seeks to reflect the dreams and anxieties of the human being. Regardless of their figurative content, what prevails is deformation, gesturality, and expressive violence in order to delve into the human condition and create an image that is both solitary and existential.

This artistic tendency is extraordinarily broad and transversal, spanning practically the entire second half of the 20th century, and in some cases sharing close links with Surrealism, Art Informel, the COBRA group, and even the Italian Transavanguardia. To represent this varied amalgam, works have been selected from the following artists: Eduard Arranz-Bravo, Miquel Barceló, Rafael Bartolozzi, Armand Cardona Torrandell, Luis Claramunt, Esther Boix, Antoni Clavé, Germán Cueto, Jean Dubuffet, Apel·les Fenosa, Baltasar Lobo, Henri Michaux, Santi Moix, Zoran Mušič…
