Rafa Forteza

Bio

Heir to the Spanish and German informalist and gestural tradition in the second half of twentieth century, Rafa Forteza is considered one of the most significant creators of contemporary Spanish art, establishing a clear dialogue between abstraction and figuration, but also an intense debate between reality and concept. Formally, much of his work could also be related to the Art Povera, for their stylish sculpture creations, or the Art Brut and abstract expressionism, but overall his work reflects that pure creativity which is not contaminated by imitating established models

Statement

Forteza fits within the more classical paradigms of abstract expres¬sionism or European Informalism. The faces painted with just a few strokes that seem instinctive and little meditated, but whose expression, after a closer ob¬servation, is revealed calm and studied. These characters, sometimes presented individually, occasionally in a group, return the viewer’s gaze, offering a self-re¬flective perspective or the gaze of divinity.
