Description from the seller
MIQUEL TORNER DE SEMIR (1938) – TAURINE AND EQUINE COMPOSITION
Interesting work by Miquel Torner de Semir, a Catalan painter with a recognized career, characterized by a personal figurative language in which classical tradition and contemporary sensibility coexist.
The composition represents a suggestive bullfighting and equestrian scene, resolved through figures of great dynamism and bold black strokes with strong personality. The horses, the movement of the characters and the elements inspired by bullfighting are integrated into an open composition, where figuration dialogu es with signs and abstract forms.
The contrast between gestural drawing in black and the color spots of red, blue, green, yellow and ochre, distributed over a light background, stands out. An spontaneous and expressive work that shows the artist’s ability to synthesize figures with essential lines and a very personal color palette.
