Alfons Borrell - 17.VI.2003
Artist Biography: Alfons Borrell (Spain, 1931-2020) Born in Barcelona in 1931 but living in Sabadell since childhood, Alfons Borrell trained in the fifties with Hermen Anglada Camarasa in Mallorca and at the Escola de Belles Arts in Barcelona. In 1960 he was part of the Grup Gallot, a collective created in Sabadell that practiced actions halfway between action painting and surrealist automatism that questioned the limits of authorship and the pictorial medium. In 1971, he participated in the creation of Sala Tres in Sabadell. A close friend of Joan Brossa and artists such as Perejaume, throughout his extensive career, his pictorial abstraction has been consolidated as an expressive corpus of great intensity and solidity. Starting from symmetries and gestural abstractions, his work has undergone a progressive simplification. With large monochrome surfaces, colour plays a structural role in Borrell's work. Often centred on a single geometric figure or on a graphic sign or dimension, the lyricism and austerity of this painting brings it closer to the interior or introspective landscape than to the desire for representation.
