Constructive Rhythms on Red – Abstract Oil by Manuel Rufi Gibert (1931)

Description:

This striking abstract composition by Manuel Rufi Gibert (Mataró, 1931) features bold, interlocking geometric forms in vivid colors—white, cobalt blue, mustard yellow, black, teal, and more—set against a textured crimson backdrop. Painted in oil on board, this piece is a fine example of Rufi Gibert’s exploration of constructive abstraction and color harmony. The repeated and rotated motifs create a sense of movement and tension, ideal for collectors of mid-20th-century Spanish abstraction or designers seeking impactful wall art. Housed in an elegant black frame with ribbed detailing, this work makes a powerful visual statement.
