AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original work, unique.
Mixed media (acrylic, spray, and marker) on canvas.
Dimensions: 150 x 100 cm. Year: 2015.
In "Patada a seguir" (Kick to Continue/Keep Going), Rafa López brings to the canvas the tactical and physical intensity of the game. Alluding to the rugby maneuver that aims to gain meters and break the opposing defense, this work presents itself as an unstoppable visual impulse.
Faithful to his neo-expressionist style with hints of "Bad Painting", the artist builds a vertiginous vertical composition. The canvas is a battlefield where chaos and order coexist: organic shapes that seem to advance, graphics that mark invisible plays, and a richly textured painterly material. It is a metaphor about resilience and the need to move forward, to launch a vital "kick to continue" to escape stagnation and conquer new plastic territories.
The color palette combines the rawness of earth tones and grays with vibrant bursts, creating an urban, worn atmosphere typical of the street wall. The work does not seek permission; it bursts directly onto the viewer’s retina with the force of a scrum.
Due to its large format (150 x 100 cm), the piece is delivered unframed (professional packaging, rolled in a sturdy transport tube) to ensure its safety and facilitate international shipping. Your local framer will be able to mount it easily on a standard wooden frame.
The indicated measurements refer to the painted surface. The canvas includes additional margins to allow a perfect mounting, preserving the artwork’s aesthetic up to the edge.
Hand-signed on the lower left edge and on the back. Includes the artist’s certificate of authenticity.
