MIQUEL MONT (Barcelona, 1963). Untitled, August... Lot 17

MIQUEL MONT (Barcelona, 1963). Untitled, August 2005. Acrylic on plywood. Signed, dated and with annotations by the artist on the back. With label of the Galería dels ángels on the back. Measurements: 22 x 16 x 4 cm. The work we now present demonstrates how Miquel Mont investigates the limits of painting from a formal point of view. It can be seen, in turn, how he works painting from its density, going beyond the two-dimensional plane and entering the three-dimensional one. Since 2000, Miquel Mont has combined his artistic work with teaching, and is currently a lecturer at the École Supérieure d'Art et de Design TALM-Tours and the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville. He has held exhibitions all over Spain, for example at the Centre d'Art la Panera; or in France, in spaces such as the Galerie Aline Vidal or the FRAC Alsace; but also in Austria. Along the same lines, his works can be found in numerous collections, such as the "la Caixa" Collection, the Museum of Fine Arts of Alava or the Mumok. In his works, industrial materials are presented naked, showing their roughness and the economy of means that characterises the artist's work. Methacrylate or wood become tools that break the frames of presentation to expand and dialogue with the space where they are presented.
