Untitled. 1972
Oil on canvas.

This work by Andreu Fresquet is part of the most introspective and experimental moment of his pictorial production in the early seventies, when the artist explores the human figure as a space of emotional and psychological tension.
The composition presents a male figure of powerful corporeality, built from dense chromatic masses and broad brushstrokes, in a dark and contained atmosphere. A white, vaporous and almost spectral form envelops the head of the character. This pictorial gesture, executed with fluid strokes, introduces a dreamlike dimension, as if it were a thought, a memory or an intangible presence invading the scene. The contrast between this whitish lightness and the dark tones reinforces the sense of struggle between the physical and the spiritual.
Fresquet participated in a large number of competitions, biennials and group exhibitions, winning awards such as the Ros i Güell (Badalona, 1969), the First Prize City of Hospitalet (1970) or the City of Badalona painting award, among others.
