Frederic Amat

Frederic Amat (Barcelona, 1952) will be one of the artists invited to the 2026-2027 season at the Gran Teatre del Liceu.

The exhibition brings together the work of Frederic Amat, a multidisciplinary artist who combines painting with stage design and film. His work treats painting, drawing, the object, space and movement as fields that bleed into one another, so that the image is not exhausted in its support but extends over time and in the perception of the person looking at it.

In his pieces, colour appears dense and intense, at times with a wounded appearance, and the line works more as an almost physical gesture than as a description. The work moves between abstraction and figuration without settling on a fixed territory. Each piece acts as a threshold that calls for the active involvement of the viewer.

His links with theatre, opera and music are continuous, and his collaborations with creators from other disciplines position the image as a relational act. Frederic Amat is among the artists invited by the Gran Teatre del Liceu, so the proposal will be of particular interest to those following the relationship between painting, theatre and opera.
