Miquel Barceló (born in Felanitx, Mallorca, in 1957, lives and works in Paris and Mallorca), represents one of the leading positions of New Painting that shaped art in the 1980s. He exhibited at Documenta 1982, Center Pompidou, Paris 1996, Museo de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid 1999, and at the 2009 Biennale de Venezia. In Barcelós art, matter and form are directly related. The processual moment of forming and kneading the material - whether clay, clay, earth or pastose oil paint - are always felt in the final product. Archaic qualities dominate. This is about remembering, the collective memory of the original and archetypal. His works change between becoming and passing away: sensual fruits in overripe lushness, which rot in the next moment, mutating into skulls. Barceló also integrates extra-artistic processes into his work, when the artist lets termites puncture his works on paper, or the ash of his atelier blackens the canvas. Nature is inscribed as a constantly changing constant. This is how classic seascapes emerged, weather pictures, as it were, or massive waves created by dynamic masses of color. Thus, Barceló sees his painting and sculpture as a constantly changing system, as an open cosmos between life and death.
