Calligraphic Pulse – Original Mixed Media by Jaume Genovart

Description
"Calligraphic Pulse" is an exceptional mixed media composition by Jaume Genovart (Barcelona, 1953), a leading exponent of Pintura-pintura or New Abstraction, and a foundational member of the Trama Group. Executed on paper, the work epitomizes Genovart’s commitment to purity in form and gesture, stripping painting to its essential visual components. The restrained palette—anchored in bold primaries—unfolds against a dark field, where fluid, calligraphic marks generate both movement and tension. Every stroke resonates with rhythmic precision, suggesting an inner pulse that animates the pictorial space. The composition achieves a rare equilibrium between structure and spontaneity, aligning with the ethos of late twentieth-century Spanish abstraction that sought renewal through reduction. Elegant and graphic, the work radiates intellectual clarity and aesthetic strength, making it a commanding presence within any refined setting.
