Abstract Geometric Composition – Jaume Genovart

Description

This dynamic mixed-media painting by Jaume Genovart presents a striking interplay of geometric precision and gestural abstraction. Layers of vivid color—burnt orange, crimson, turquoise, and deep violet—are structured into angular planes intersected by calligraphic forms and architectural lines. Genovart’s mastery of rhythm and spatial tension reflects his association with the Pintura-pintura and New Abstraction movements of late twentieth-century Catalonia, where emphasis was placed on the materiality and language of painting itself. The surface shows deliberate contrasts between textured pigment and linear draftsmanship, producing a dialogue between form and gesture that feels both controlled and improvisational. The composition’s gradient from dark, mechanical lower tones to radiant upper hues gives a sense of upward energy and intellectual balance, making it an arresting statement piece for refined contemporary settings.
