Enrich.R presents his third solo exhibition at Alzueta Gallery, this time at the Barcelona Turó space. Abstract Poems, which opens on April 3rd and will be on view until May 9th, brings together a series of previously unseen works in which the artist continues to explore abstraction as an open and intuitive language. Without attempting to define it, Enrich.R approaches it through spontaneity and immediacy, allowing the painting to unfold in its most vivid and autonomous form.
This new series maintains continuity with his previous work but delves deeper into the idea of painting as a form of visual writing. Here, each brushstroke functions as a word, a verse, or a musical note, creating its own rhythm. The act of painting becomes a kind of unconscious narration, where each gesture builds upon the previous one, generating a composition that does not seek a specific meaning but rather an abstract emotion open to interpretation.
The title of the works, ARIA, refers to the internal vibration of the painting, a resonance that does not directly convey music but is infused with it as a metaphor. Inspired by the way musical arias create variations within a fixed structure, Enrich.R plays with repetition and change in each piece. Colors, shapes, and brushstrokes come together with a distinct logic, allowing each painting to construct its own narrative.
The creative process is fast and instinctive, like jotting down ideas on paper without filtering them. The artist seeks to go beyond rational thought, reacting directly on the canvas and allowing the painting to unfold ahead of conscious intention, creating moments of surprise. This initial impulse is then balanced by a more reflective approach, enabling him to observe and understand the internal dynamics of each piece.
With Abstract Poems, Enrich.R reaffirms his commitment to exploring new forms of expression while staying true to the essence of his work. His paintings do not seek resolution; they remain in motion, open to new interpretations and the personal reflections of the viewer.
