Geometric Abstraction by Manuel Rufi Gibert

Description
Manuel Rufi Gibert’s oil on board presents a structured geometric abstraction composed of stylised, glyph-like forms arranged across a textured grey ground. Rendered in a controlled palette of cobalt blue, mustard yellow, red, white, and soft pink, the composition balances repetition and variation, creating measured visual rhythm within a flat, architectural space. The simplified, rotated motifs suggest symbolic characters while maintaining a rigorous commitment to formal clarity and chromatic harmony. Rooted in Spanish post-war geometric abstraction, the work reflects a disciplined exploration of structure, colour relationships, and spatial order, offering a confident and graphically striking presence.
