Description
AGUSTÍ PUIG PINYOL (Sabadell, Barcelona, 1957).
Untitled, 2006.
Mixed media on canvas.
Signed and dated on the back.
Size: 162 x 130 cm; 164 x 132 cm (frame).
The canvas in question stands out both for the suggestion of synthetic elements barely sketched, and for the mystical character impregnated by these black silhouettes on the white background. The figures used simulate emotional gestures, incursions into the subconscious and eternal dilemmas of the artist, who immerses us in a complex graphic and symbolic universe that allows us to reflect on the essence of life.
Agustí Puig studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Sabadell, and later at the Massana in Barcelona. His painting, which is constantly evolving, was initially based on the contemplation of nature and landscape, abstracting elements such as light and colour. Puig also cultivates poster design, illustration, graphic design and sculpture, always with a distinctive personality. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including the II Biennial of Young Art (Barcelona, 1985) and the Hannover International Fair (1990). He has received an honourable mention in the Joan Miró Drawing Prize (Barcelona, 1985), and was awarded a prize in the Muestra de Arte Joven (Madrid, 1987). His solo exhibitions include those held at the galleries René Métras in Barcelona (1987, 1989 and 1991), Egam in Madrid (1988), Luis Adelantado in Valencia (1989), SIC in Vigo (1990), Fernando Latorre in Zaragoza (1993) and Van Art in Madrid (1997). He has also held personal exhibitions in foreign galleries such as the Centre les Hautes de Belleville in Paris (1988), Esse Gallery in Cologne (1990), Jadite Gallery in New York (1992), Futaba Gallery in Tokyo (1992), Messum's Gallery in London (2002-2005) and DeNovo Gallery in Chicago (2009). From the late 1990s onwards, Puig moved away from his previous subject matter to focus on elements of everyday life, with chairs, shoes or hats, which he recreates with apparent spontaneity in an essentialised vision, full of subtlety, in which the economy of means endows the images with a certain magical and symbolic character. Agustí Puig's work is currently on permanent display in the galleries Giart in Girona, Set Espai d'Art in Javea and Messum's London, in London. He is also represented at the Vila Casas Foundation in Barcelona.
