About the Item

Gerardo Rueda (Madrid, 1926-1996) turns the practice of collage into an experimental laboratory; with tools and materials that are different from the usual paint brushes and pigments, he is able to make a painting without paint. "The evolution of Rueda’s work over half a century reveals internal soundness and logic. His personal vision of the world and the need to express it through art fermented at a very early stage of his life. Enhanced by experience and by a growing command of the technique, he transferred his need for structure and order to all the media he worked with, from drawing and collage to painting and sculpture. Gerardo Rueda’s style is based on a dedication to structure and order, harmony and balance. As he matured, Rueda’s style became more strictly hard-edge and geometric. Without hesitation, he eliminated anything that was not essential, he suppressed anecdotes and digression. The forms he uses in his pure oeuvre seem to be attached to an invisible reticule, like an implicit structural skeleton, like a framework that supports them. Rueda’s poetic tone does not make him a symbolist; he was too interested in the literal presence of the materials to consider synaesthesia or allusions to other states or moments other than the present. In subsequent assemblages-reliefs, which in a sense are three-dimensional collages, projected form the pictorial plane onto the real space, the simple or common materials used, or the found objects presented in boxes, refer to stages where anonymous dramas are performed. Rid of their original context or identity, the found materials are only reminiscent of themselves. Rueda most approaches symbolist aesthetics in the lyrical collages he creates using torn paper. However, his poetry does not contain the fl owery, perfumed decadence of Baudelaire but the vivid concentration of Japanese haikus, which use a minimum number of words to imply multiple associations which are often contradictory" (Barbara Rose, Constructions). "As of 1965, volume appeared in my painting. Actually, already in the 1960s I showed a series of works in Italy in which a monochrome surface was affected by a series of reliefs and elements created using a spatula which, when touched by light, created an atmosphere of contrasts and lights and shadows. In the mid-Sixties, I started to introduce autonomous elements in my painting: stretchers, canvases, and so on, which were subsequently constructed in wood to stand the passing of time. The use of acrylic instead of oil paint should also be considered from the same perspective" (Gerardo Rueda, Constructions).
