This work is a gamble, a provocation, however, -the woman, the nude- has been one of the traditional motifs of classical painting. We would have to ask ourselves then about the reasons why Herreros returned to this theme. This painting by Ramón Herreros is the image of desire, a glow on the horizon that no gesture captures and no word defines.
Ramón Herreros studied at the Massana School in Barcelona, the Cercle de Sant Lluc and the Tàrrega Academy. He was also part of the first graduating class of the EINA design school. In 1967 he formed Equip A together with Tornabell, Jubany and Morera, with whom he worked until the early seventies. He held his first solo exhibition at the Ciento gallery in Barcelona in 1982, where he continued to exhibit regularly, and since then he has shown his work in Madrid, Paris, Freiburg and other European cities. In 1997 a large retrospective exhibition was dedicated to him at the Palacio de Sobrellano, in Comillas. He is currently represented in various museums and private collections.
