Trained at the prestigious Olot School of Fine Arts, Karris refused to stagnate in classical landscape painting. This work, dated 2002, is a visual manifesto of what he himself defines as his \"Surrealist-Figurative-Mediterranean\" period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eThe artist uses the landscape of rolling hills (possibly his native Garrotxa) and a sunset sky filled with purples and golds merely as a backdrop. The true weight of the work lies in the foreground: three truncated columns, besieged by thorny vines, rise as unnatural pedestals to support the planet Earth, an orange, and a cherry. It is a cryptic composition that invites reflection on the weight of nature, the global versus the local, and the fragility of the ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe fluidity of the wash and cinematic proportion\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eWhat accentuates the tension of this scene is the boldness of its format: an extreme 12 x 33 cm. Karris forces us to read the work as if it were the panoramic screen of a film, guiding the eye from left to right. Technically, the watercolor seeks inner light; it uses the transparency of water to capture the vibration of the atmosphere, demonstrating that the academic rigor of his training coexists in perfect harmony with absolute intellectual and expressive freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eWHY IS THIS PIECE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR COLLECTION?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSymbolism and Rarity:\u003c\/b\u003e While the market offers abundant traditional Catalan landscapes, finding pieces where an author from the Olot School breaks the rules to embrace figurative surrealism is a highly coveted curatorial rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExceptional Panoramic Format:\u003c\/b\u003e The pronounced horizontality (almost a 3:1 ratio) breaks with classic cabinet proportions, giving the piece undeniable compositional modernity and magnetic visual presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIdentified and International Signature:\u003c\/b\u003e Endorsed by the clear signature \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"65\"\u003e\"Karris '02\"\u003c\/i\u003e in the lower left corner, the work ensures its belonging to the mature stage of an artist with a living curriculum and works in institutional collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/b\u003e Antoni Carrera \"Karris\" (Olot, 1963).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTitle \/ Theme:\u003c\/b\u003e Oniric stage \/ Symbolic nature (Figurative Surrealism).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eYear of creation:\u003c\/b\u003e 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnique and Medium:\u003c\/b\u003e Original fluid watercolor on continuous paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDocumented Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Approx. 12 x 33 cm (Extremely horizontal \/ Panoramic format).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSignature and Inscriptions:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-signed in ink \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"16,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"46\"\u003e\"Karris\"\u003c\/i\u003e and dated \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"16,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"65\"\u003e\"02\"\u003c\/i\u003e in the lower left corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle \/ Movement:\u003c\/b\u003e Mediterranean Surrealism \/ Evolution of the Olot School.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,7,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/b\u003e Private collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,8,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Excellent archival quality.
