Lot Description

SOLEDAD SEVILLA (Valencia, 1944). "Time After", 1991. Diptych. Acrylic on canvas. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Provenance: Soledad Lorenzo art gallery, Madrid, 1992. Exhibitions: Soledad Sevilla 1989-1991. Palace of the Counts of Gabia, Granada, June 4-22, 1999, rep. Soledad Seville. Soledad Lorenzo Gallery, Madrid, December 10, 1991 - January 18, 1992 p 25. Measurements: 195 x 260 cm. Time is one of the themes around which pivots the work of Soledad Sevilla, a work that through abstraction suggests notions associated with infinity and consciousness. Her vibratile and monochrome surfaces envelop us with their constellation of suggestions. In "Tiempo después", the pictorial veils overlap each other, submerging us in subtle changes of navy blue and cobalt, in slight gradations that imprint elasticity to our perceptive capacity. Soledad Sevilla's artistic career began in the late sixties with positions close to pictorial minimalism, a stage she abandoned in the seventies after her participation in the Seminar on Automatic Generation of Plastic Forms developed at the Calculus Center of the Complutense University of Madrid. In it, the artist opted to create paintings of geometric roots where the module and its infinite variations on the pictorial plane emerge as a theme; however, it should always be kept in mind that her geometric constructions have a poetic reading, a feature that characterizes Sevilla's work even today. It is through geometric abstraction, also called optical art, that Sevilla resolves to flee from neo-figuration and Pop Art, movements that were triumphant in Spain.1 With time, her artistic concerns took another direction and the Valencian artist began to work in the field of conceptual and spatial research, the results being used in the early eighties in her various installations. In the early 1980s she studied at Harvard University. In 1993 he received the National Plastic Arts Award and in 2007 the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts. His work is part of such important entities as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Künstmuseum Malmö, the Marugame Hirai Museum of Contemporary Spanish Art in Japan, the European Parliament and Patrimonio Nacional.In 2018 his sculpture, painted methacrylate Untitled (1971-1972), was part of the exhibition The Power of Art, organized on the occasion of the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Spanish Constitution. The works from the Museo Nacional Centro de arte Reina Sofía were placed in the seats of the Congress of Deputies and the Senate.
