Adolf Genovart
(Barcelona, 1953)
Author's artworks
20th-21st Century Spanish
Genovart is one of the main exponents of the style known as
Pintura-pintura
or New Abstraction that was closely associated with the
Trama Group
a group of artists founded in 1974 around the magazine with the same name. Made up by four painters (José Manuel Broto, Xavier Grau, Javier Rubio and Gonzalo Tena) and a writer (Federico Jiménez Losantos), this multidisciplinary group defended the act of painting in opposition to the conceptual trend then in vogue in Catalonia, and as an alternative to the new figuration that was also gaining force in the art scene at the time.
. From 1977 to 1980 he took part in several editions of the Joan Miró International Drawing Award. He purged his work of everything he considered superfluous in order to centre on the purity of the visual language. To this end he used a palette of primary colours virtually without any kind of gradation.
