Enric Colldecarrera | Atmospheric Abstraction | Original Mixed Media (Mint Condition)

An original work that stands out for its technical experimentation and impeccable state of preservation. An exercise in atmosphere and gesture by Enric Colldecarrera.

History and Curatorial Analysis

This piece by Enric Colldecarrera (1930-2016) represents the most innovative facet of the Gerundian artist. Belonging to his mature period, the work moves away from the traditional landscape of the Olot School to delve into a dreamlike and deconstructed terrain, where stains and textures are the protagonists.

Technically, the author combines the use of spray paint with oil paint, achieving a very particular contrast of densities. The spray creates a background of silvery mist and pulverization effects that create an atmosphere of contemporary "sfumato." Over this ethereal base, Colldecarrera applies touches of black and ochre oil paint with a resounding gestural load, anchoring the composition. The work plays with the viewer's perception, suggesting geological or celestial forms submerged in the fog, maintaining a constant balance between suggested figuration and pure abstraction.

Why is this piece an opportunity for your collection?

• Exceptional state of preservation: It is highly unusual to find works on paper from this period preserved in "mint" or impeccable condition. Having remained protected and unframed, the support retains its original whiteness and the pigments retain all their vibrant intensity.

• Modernity and experimentation: This piece shows Colldecarrera's ability to integrate industrial materials with oil painting, offering a much more avant-garde vision than his conventional landscape production.

• Sophisticated aesthetic: Due to its color palette and mysterious atmosphere, it is a work that fits successfully into minimalist or industrial design interiors, adding an intellectual and elegant note to the room.

• Investment without additional costs: Since it is presented in optimal conservation condition, the work does not require restoration processes or cleaning of foxing, allowing the collector to enjoy the piece in high fidelity from the very first moment.
