Item Description
Description
This dynamic work by Adolf Genovart (b.1953) exemplifies the spirit of New Abstraction, blending gestural expression with a refined calligraphic sensibility. Executed in oil on canvas, La puerta en abril (1977) pulses with vivid chromatic energy—primary tones of yellow, red, and cobalt blue are applied in pure, unmodulated layers, interspersed with translucent washes and graphic marks. Swirls of purple, emerald, and burnt orange create movement across the surface, while fragments of text and line disrupt and anchor the composition. Genovart’s visual language speaks directly to the legacies of American Abstract Expressionism and the French Support-Surface school, distilled through the lens of Spain’s Pintura-pintura ethos. As a member of this movement, Genovart stripped painting down to its essentials—color, gesture, and space—creating works that resonate with lyrical tension and graphic force. This painting is part of the prestigious BBVA Collection in Spain, a testament to its historical and artistic significance.
