86 - ROUGER LEZCANO PUIG (Catalonia, 1964).

ROUGER LEZCANO PUIG (Catalonia, 1964). “Music 3.” Mixed media on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Provenance: Puro Arte Gallery, Barcelona. Measurements: 70 x 50 cm. In this work, Rouger Lezcano Puig explores the expressive possibilities of gestural abstraction, establishing a dialogue between painting and musicality. The composition is built through energetic brushstrokes and spontaneous lines, in which deep blues, golden ochres, grays, and subtle pink accents are hallmarks of the composition, contrasting with a luminous background of light tones. The curvilinear movements, the layering of paint, and the drags of pigment create a dynamic visual rhythm, while the wide open spaces lend a sense of lightness to the whole. The result is a painting marked by compositional freedom, where gesture and color evoke the cadences of a musical improvisation. Rouger Lezcano Puig is a self-taught Catalan artist whose work falls within the realm of contemporary abstraction. After pursuing his creative practice independently for years, his work received a boost from the Catalan association Puro Arte and the Puro Arte Gallery in Barcelona, which helped bring it to a wider audience. His pictorial language is characterized by experimentation with materials, spontaneous brushwork, and a particular sensitivity to rhythm and chromatic relationships.
