Casamada Rafols
Painter
Spain
|
Born in 1923, Barcelona
He studied at Fine Arts School in Barcelona.
After adopting figuration of a kind that was slightly avant-grade, because of a fleeting “Fauvist” presence, he went on the investigation of volume along lines roughly suggested by cubism. This stage has given away to abstraction.
Rafols, who has ever been a non-formalist in the strict meaning of the term, does, however, produce a type of painting that is characterized by freedom.
We are shown vast spaces of painting gazing across at each other, while technique reveals a keen of chromatic matching.
His 1970s inclusion of certain heterogeneous elements in “collage” manner, has meant the gradual alignment of his works with “Pop” art tendencies.
