Romà Vallès: "Heràclit" (2006)
Author: Romà Vallès (Barcelona 1923 - 2015). Title: Heràclit. Description: acrylic on canvas made in 2006 by the Barcelona artist Romà Vallès. Measurements without frame 60x60 cm. Certificate of authenticity is attached. Artwork in good condition. Romà Vallès Simplicio is a benchmark of Catalan Informalism. He studied at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts in Barcelona. Starting from an initial figurative stage, his work evolves seamlessly towards abstraction. Having absorbed general phenomena such as Pop-art, informalism, material abstraction, conceptual art and other trends of recent decades, his painting has never lost the gestural quality of the line, the lyricism of color, the refinement of textures and the balance-tension of opposites. In 1959, together with A.Cirici Pellicer and Antoni Cumella, they founded the FAD School of Art in Barcelona and the Espacio Romà Vallès, dedicated to his work, is located in the Antigua Caixa Foundation in Terrassa. He held numerous exhibitions around the world, received many awards and his work is part of different public and private collections.
