About the Item

Feito. abstract. red. white. black limited edition paintingengraving limited edition painting. framed In this abstract expressionist, engraving, Luis Feito's palette has been simplified to black, red and purple. The dynamic red brushstrokes are reminiscent of oriental art, where an image is reduced to its core. Born in 1929, in Madrid, Luis Feito trained at the Escuela superior de bellas artes de San Fernando, Madrid, in 1950. His early figurative style was followed by an experimentation in Cubism which eventually evolved to abstract expressionism .In 1955, he relocated to Paris to study the avant-garde movement. He remained in close contact with his Spanish contemporaries and was a founding member of the group El Paso in Madrid (1957–60) with artists Rafael Canogar, Juana Francés, Manolo Millares, Manuel Rivera, Antonio Suárez, Antonio Saura, Pablo Serrano, Martín Chirino and Manuel Viola, which was one of the first avant-garde movements in Spain under General Franco. The group promoted informalism, the importance of the gesture rather than geometry and the pre-eminence of the plasticity of raw materials rather than concept. The dynamism of this young group introduced abstraction to Spain, and had a profound impact on European art that is still felt today. In the late 50s and early 60s, Luis Feito created rich surfaces, often using sand to create texture, in monochromatic scale colors. The colors are sober yet the contrasts of texture and tone create a feeling of inner light. Feito's recent work shows an energy, intensity and passion for painting that is stronger than ever. Luis Feito lives and works in Madrid, Spain.
