In this board, the artist from Mollet del Vallès displays his celebrated explosivist language, a methodology where the boundary between painting and sculpture disappears. We are not looking at a flat representation of reality, but an orographic construction of oil; Abelló uses the spatula and heavily loaded brush to create ridges of pigment that trap real light, generating shadows and reliefs that change according to the viewer's position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe sky, worked with an almost stormy energy, seems to vibrate above a rural building that emerges from the earth with the same material solidity as the surrounding terrain. This work is the testimony of an artist who was also one of Spain's most voracious and cultured collectors; this expert eye allowed him to synthesize the heritage of European post-impressionism and imbue it with an absolutely modern plastic aggressiveness. Observing the piece, one perceives the urgency of the creator: oil ceases to be a medium to become the message itself, an exercise in telluric force where each impasto is a pulsation of the very Catalan land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eWhy is this piece an opportunity for your collection?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMuseum Author:\u003c\/b\u003e Abelló is a consecrated figure with his own institution.

It is an acquisition designed to bring volumetric strength and historical weight to the portfolios of a collector focused on Spanish material avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIncludes Collector's Dossier:\u003c\/b\u003e This set is delivered accompanied by a research study, technical sheet, and curatorial context prepared and printed by El Taller del Coleccionista, certifying our research and the known provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"El taller del coleccionista","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53510886981965,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/1841\/3901\/files\/DSC_0285_c6f2b1ca-7561-4031-a3a8-d1e0020686a9.jpg?v=1773141511","url":"https:\/\/eltallerdelcoleccionista.com\/en\/products\/joan-abello-explosion-paisaje-oleo-materico-tabla","provider":"El taller del coleccionista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
