Romà Vallès

Romà Vallès (Barcelona, 1923–2015) is one of the most representative artists of contemporary Catalan visual arts and one of the precursors of abstract art in Catalonia.

This exhibition brings together a selection of paintings spanning over six decades of work and creative research. Through the different rooms, visitors can view a route structured via series that reflect the technical and conceptual evolution of the artist's career. The exhibited works focus on the use of matter, brushstroke, stain and colour as central elements of his pictorial experimentation, connecting microcosmic and macrocosmic dimensions.

Espais Volart hosts this proposal conceived to bring the general public and contemporary art enthusiasts closer to one of the fundamental names of informalism in Catalonia. The curation has structured a journey articulated by a guiding thread that shows the freedom of approach and the constancy of a creative process developed throughout his biography. The visit allows one to delve into the results of an intense dedication to abstraction without leaving Barcelona.
