The Miguel Marcos gallery presents until March the exhibition Pintures de Xavier Grau, a monographic exhibition about one of the most distinguished painters of contemporary art today that can be visited until March 17.

Xavier Grau (Barcelona 1951 - 2020) was closely linked to the manifestations of the New York School, and in particular Willem de Kooning or Philip Guston, offering a pictorial language that at first glance brings us closer to a direct and spontaneous work , without obstacles, articulating all the spaces and volumes through gestures and a free and unfettered chromaticism.

Promoter of "El Grup Trama" formed by Grau himself, José Manuel Broto (Saragossa, 1949), Javier Rubio (Saragossa, 1952), Gonzalo Tena (Terol, 1950) and the writer, Federico Jiménez Losantos (Oriola del Tremedal, Terol, 1951), is one of the main Spanish representatives of abstract expressionism. Technically, this exhibition shows the desire to deepen the succession and amalgamation of layers that characterize his work, through superpositions made of transparencies, shades and blurred glazes that give the unique mystery of a supposed chaos and excess , to end up creating divergent tensions.

His work is part of museums and public collections such as the “La Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection (Barcelona), MACBA, Contemporary Art Museum of Barcelona (Barcelona) or MNCARS, National Museum Center of Art Reina Sofia (Madrid) or the Banco Sabadell Art Collection, among others.
