DESCRIPTION
LLUISA SALLENT (Barcelona, 1934).
"Young man", 1978.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Signed and dated on the back.
Measurements: 140 x 96.5 cm; 148 x 115 cm (frame).
This work is a significant example of Lluïsa Sallent's figurative production, focused on the intimate and serene representation of the female figure.
The artist uses a warm palette that contributes to create a silent and contemplative atmosphere. The treatment of the figure stands out for the softness of the modeling. The vegetal elements, integrated in a symbolic and decorative way, introduce an organic counterpoint to the constructed space, reinforcing the compositional balance and bringing a poetic nuance to the scene.
Lluïsa Sallent was initially trained in the workshop of Pere Pruna, who had been fascinated by the drawings that the young woman made as mere entertainment. Later she would train in the sculptural field, with the artist Joan Rebull. In 1980 she exhibited for the first time in the Sala Parés, with considerable public and critical success. Later she exhibited at the Sala Nonell in Barcelona and at the Alcolea in Madrid, in other galleries.
