Description from the seller
Acrylic painting on canvas by Kiru, Spanish artist with a Degree in Art from the UOC.
THE COLLECTION
==============
Criticart is a series where chromatic abstraction and the pictorial gesture coexist with small textual fissures: brief phrases, almost whispers, that emerge between layers of color like remnants of a system that still breathes on the walls of museums.
These minimalist interventions — charged with sarcasm, lucidity, and dry humor — function as micro-comments embedded on the surface, reminding us that even in the most free painting the shadows of canon, tradition, and the conditioned gaze persist.
The collection elegantly dismantles the old apparatus of the traditional market, that ecosystem of surnames, lineages, hierarchies, and certainties that defined art history before the 21st century. The result is a painting that is not only looked at: it confronts, contradicts, unsettles, and softly laughs at what was once supposed to be indisputable.
THE AUTHOR
=========
For Kiru, matter, stroke, and color are not only key elements in the creative process, but also the ones that transform each piece into a stimulating and positive visual experience.
Kiru is a Spanish artist with an intuitive and accessible palette, and who holds a Degree in Art from the Universidad Abierta de Cataluña (Spain).
Kiru derives from the Sanskrit root kṛ, meaning to create, make, trace, and is the origin of terms such as kṛti (work) or karma (action). It is a historical and well-documented root, directly linked to the creative act understood as gesture, process, and transformation.
