Rafael Quero (1960) - Composición abstracta

Interesting abstract composition with a marked personality, created in 1960 by Rafael Quero, featuring a construction of concentric rectangular shapes and gestural strokes of great expressiveness. On the back there is a handwritten inscription on the frame: «Gift from the author Rafael Quero – 1960», which provides an interesting testimony about the provenance of the work.

It stands out for its intense chromaticism, in which turquoise, greens, yellows, reds, whites and blacks are combined, applied through energetic brushstrokes and abundant impasto that give depth and material richness.

A piece representative of the abstract experimentation of Spanish painting in the sixties, with influences from informalism and geometric abstraction.

Presented in a spectacular carved and polychromed frame of sculptural character, which enhances its uniqueness and decorative presence. The canvas measures 27x22 cm and with the frame, 48x42 cm.

* It has been framed by fixing the stretcher to a wooden base with small gold screws that enable access to the back of the work at any time. The stretcher shows some marks of inactive wood-borers after months of observation.
** Attached as a gift on the back, an oil on panel by the renowned Toledo artist Enrique Vera, with evident painting damages due to undesired retouches.
