Description from the seller
Suggested Title
Jordi Samsó (1988) - "Sortida laberint" - Large Format (81 x 100 cm) - Abstract Neo-Primitivism - Oil on Canvas
Important large-format original work by the Catalan contemporary artist Jordi Samsó, signed and dated 1988. Titled on the back "Sortida laberint" (Exit from the labyrinth), the piece is an excellent exemplar of abstract neo-primitivism and graphic expressionism characteristic of Catalan artistic production in the late 1980s.
The composition stands out for its ethereal atmosphere, resolved through washes and glazes in blue, grayish, and ochre tones over which a strong game of primary graphic strokes emerges. Samsó uses incised lines with totemic cut that evoke the iconography of prehistoric and tribal art; on the right zone there are schematic goat-like figures with spiral horns, while on the left flank angular geometric structures rise up, alluding to the concept of the architectural and symbolic labyrinth.
The reverse of the canvas shows the solid provenance of the piece, preserving on the wooden stretcher the original handwritten inscription by the author including the year, the title of the work, and the workshop registration number (No. F-1011).
The overall condition is very good. As the only technical detail, the fabric shows a slight minor impact in the upper central area, a barely perceptible detail that does not alter the tension of the canvas nor compromise the viewing or the aesthetic integrity of the pictorial layer. (Visible in the photos, if you look closely).
