• Lot Description
  AGUSTÍ PUIG PINYOL (Sabadell, Barcelona, 1957). Untitled, 2006. Mixed technique on canvas. Signed and dated on the back. Measurements: 162 x 130 cm; 164 x 132 cm (frame). The canvas we are dealing with stands out both for the suggestion of synthetic elements barely sketched, and for the mystical character impregnated by those black silhouettes on the white background. The figures used simulate emotional gestures, incursions into the subconscious and eternal dilemmas of the artist, who immerses us in a complex graphic and symbolic universe that allows us to reflect on the essence of life. Agustí Puig studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Sabadell, and later at the Massana in Barcelona. His painting, in constant evolution, was initially based on the contemplation of nature and landscape, abstracting elements such as light and color. Puig also cultivates poster design, illustration, graphic design and sculpture, always with a distinctive personality. He has participated in numerous collective exhibitions, among them the II Biennial of Young Art (Barcelona, 1985) and the International Fair of Hannover (1990). He has received an honorary mention in the Joan Miró Drawing Prize (Barcelona, 1985), and was awarded in the Muestra de Arte Joven (Madrid, 1987). Among his individual exhibitions are those held in the galleries René Métras in Barcelona (1987, 1989 and 1991), Egam in Madrid (1988), Luis Adelantado in Valencia (1989), SIC in Vigo (1990), Fernando Latorre in Zaragoza (1993) and Van Art in Madrid (1997). He has also held personal exhibitions in foreign galleries such as the Centre les Hautes de Belleville in Paris (1988), Esse Gallery in Cologne (1990), Jadite Gallery in New York (1992), Futaba Gallery in Tokyo (1992), Messum's Gallery in London (2002-2005) and DeNovo Gallery in Chicago (2009). From the late nineties onwards, Puig moves away from his previous subject matter to focus on elements of everyday life, with chairs, shoes or hats, which he recreates with apparent spontaneity in an essentialized vision, full of subtlety, in which the economy of means endows the images with a certain magical and symbolic character. Agustí Puig's work is currently on permanent display in the galleries Giart in Girona, Set Espai d'Art in Javea and Messum's London, in London. He is also represented at the Vila Casas Foundation in Barcelona.
