Jose Hernandez Quero (1930) - Composiciones Astratta

José Hernández Quero (Spain, born in 1930/31)
Abstract Composition – 1969

Abstract opera created in 1969 by José Hernández Quero, a Spanish artist born between 1930 and 1931, belonging to the generation that contributed to the renewal of painting language in the post-war period through informal and material research.

The work presents a dense and layered composition, built through material painting, graphic signs, and symbolic forms. The painted surface is dominated by dark, brown, and earthy tones, with strong chiaroscuro contrasts that enhance visual depth. Circular elements and structures allusive to wheels and gears emerge, referencing an industrial and urban imaginary, typical of the artistic experiments of the sixties.

Hernández Quero's expressive language reflects the cultural climate of the period, in which abstraction becomes a tool for exploring matter, sign, and time, surpassing traditional figuration in favor of an open and dynamic symbolic narration.

The work is signed and dated '69 on the front.
