AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original work by master Manuel Viola titled Los Gallos, executed in oil on canvas and signed.
The composition presents two roosters facing each other in a scene of dynamic tension, resolved with a gestural brushstroke, vibrant and charged with energy. The intense reds, electric yellows, and deep blacks build a dramatic atmosphere that connects directly with the materialist Expressionism characteristic of the artist.
The strength of the stroke, the gestural charge, and the chromatic contrast place this work within Viola's most powerful language, where figuration becomes pure pictorial energy.

ABOUT MANUEL VIOLA

His work is part of important public and private collections, and his career is linked to the renewal of postwar Spanish art. Viola developed his own expressive language, characterized by chromatic intensity, violent gesturality, and a strong emotional charge.
