• Lot Description
  FELICIDAD MORENO (1959, Lagartera, Toledo, Spain). "Butterfly knots", 2003. Diptych. Acrylic on canvas. Measures: 200 x 165 cm (each one); 200 x 330 cm (Total). Felicidad Moreno began her artistic career in the eighties. In 1986 she was awarded one of the prizes of the II Muestra de Arte Joven, organized by the Instituto de la Juventud in Madrid. Since that decade, her painting had an innovative character for the Spanish art scene. Although the characteristic features of his work is a wide chromatic range, gestural expressiveness and a sense of fluidity and unity, his artistic career has gone through several stages. He began investigating the most monotonous chromatism, based on black and white tones and with a tendency towards more geometric structures, which occupy the entire surface of the canvas, creating a dense thickness. However, from the 90's onwards, there is an evident transition towards a more austere and synthetic stage, full of color, superimposed planes and a formal approach towards biomorphic elements. Likewise, from this stage on his work is recognizable by the application of the dripping technique, following the tradition of American expressionism, which allows him to develop his own abstract language dominated by helicoidal forms, ellipses, and spheres. The diptych presented in our auction is part of the pictorial maturity of the painter from Toledo. Articulation of measured and controlled elements, but at the same time very expressive, with atmospheric spaces and with the characteristic features of pattern-painting, such as horizontal bands and superimposed ovals, manage to create a lyrical dialogue both between the elements themselves, and with the viewer, tying him to the absorbing spiral of this poetic microcosm, as if it were a real butterfly knot. Felicidad Moreno's works can be found in numerous museums and public collections such as the Bank of Spain Collection, the Telefónica Collection, the Bank of Bilbao Collection, the L'Oreal Collection, the "La Caixa" Contemporary Art Collection, the Patio Herreriano Museum Collection and the ARTIUM Collection, among many others.
