This canvas by artist Rufino de Mingo combines neo-figuration with visceral surrealism, and boasts a provenance linked to one of the most important solidarity movements in contemporary Spanish art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHistory and Curatorial Analysis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe composition dramatically plays with the dislocation of scale. Against a flat and vibrant blue background, the macroscopic structure of a gigantic green leaf stands out. On the vegetal surface, a series of small human-like figures move, slip, or fall into the void. In the lower quadrant, two of these hominids confront each other in what appears to be hand-to-hand combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eTechnically, Rufino de Mingo resolves the scene with a forceful, impasto brushstroke with clear neo-expressionist roots. He strips the figures of precise anatomical details to focus on the volume of the flesh (built with pinkish, brownish, and grayish tones) and instinctive movement. The contrast between the passive monumentality of nature and the frantic agitation of the figures imbues the painting with a disturbing dreamlike atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe true added and documentary value of this piece is found on its reverse. The canvas bears the official stamp \"Arte Axuda a Galicia - Marea Negra 2002\".

Visually, it is a bold painting that does not leave the viewer indifferent thanks to its peculiar play of scales and its fleshy figures with an ugly and brilliant aesthetic. Documentarily, holding a piece from the \"Marea Negra\" exhibition is owning a piece of the social and artistic history of this country. It is a resounding acquisition with a lot of character for any collection of contemporary Spanish art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"El taller del coleccionista","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54332381331789,"sku":null,"price":550.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/1841\/3901\/files\/DSC_0305_01.jpg?v=1784457510","url":"https:\/\/eltallerdelcoleccionista.com\/en\/products\/rufino-de-mingo-neo-figuracion-marea-negra-2002-oleo-lienzo","provider":"El taller del coleccionista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
