Jordi Aluma Masvidal - 'Man and Woman on the Highway'

Titled 'hombre y mujer en la autopista' (spanish: 'man and woman on the highway'), this fascinatingly complex piece has an outstanding amount of depth. The distorted faces are reminiscent of the portraits of pablo picasso, a contemporary and clear influence of aluma masvidal. This piece evokes a journey, with the perspectival lines on the left of the composition hinting at the titular 'highway', and the overall translucency of the colour suggesting this is a view through a window. An impressive balance between movement and stillness, perfectly capturing the fleeting moment of strangers' lives we see whilst driving past their cars on a fast-moving road. Jordi aluma masvidal is a spanish postwar & contemporary artist who was born in 1924. Frequently offered at auction, his work is often highly abstract and has echoes of cubism and surrealism - from portraits to landscapes and still lifes, this brilliant, daring artist always uses bold, striking colour. Artist name: jordi aluma masvidal (b. 1924) Approx date: mid 20th century. Sku: 874.
