Description
Abierto I (Open I) is a 2019 hand-coloured lithograph by Joaquín Capa, published by Taller del Prado. Capa is a Spanish painter and printmaker whose work has been closely associated with Taller del Prado's printing workshop. In a long horizontal format, the composition is divided into contrasting zones that seem to open onto one another, as the title suggests. On the left a deep black field holds a dark red disc ringed in green; in the centre a white area is crossed by vivid orange crayon marks and a thin grey line that traces an irregular, open outline; on the right a blue field carries a sharp wedge of yellow and red, streaks of orange and dark blue, and a small yellow dot ringed in blue, with a pale green form at the bottom. Capa combines the precision of hard-edged planes with the spontaneity of gestural marks and scribbles, in a language close to lyrical abstraction and collage. Each impression is finished by hand: the hand-colouring differs from one impression to another, so the colours and painted areas may vary from the photograph shown, making every sheet partly unique. The title is pencilled in the lower margin. The edition comprises 50 impressions, numbered and hand-signed by the artist.
Presentation
Joaquín Capa is a radically abstract artist whose work excludes any figuration, emphasising colour, form and space. The distribution of the parts in his works can create a conflict in the viewer, at once dissonance and consonance. He studied at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes in Madrid, and also pursued studies in Philosophy in Rome and Madrid, Architecture in Madrid and Sociology of Art in Paris. He received a grant from the Juan March Foundation (1975-1976) and another from the Ministry of Culture (1983-1984). He maintains a close relationship with India, where he was a visiting professor at the University of Baroda in 1983, 1989 and 1990 and won the Prize at the 1st Bhopal International Biennial. His work is held in museums and collections including the Museo de Arte Abstracto in Cuenca, the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Museo del Ferrocarril in Madrid, the Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes in Santander, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon. He is married to the painter María Luisa Sanz.
