Alfredo Roldan Art

Spanish, b. 1965

A close look at one of Alfredo Roldan’s paintings leads to interesting discoveries. The surface is full of rasps and scrapes, stains, impastos, graffiti and lines. This treatment creates an enormous amount of mini-spots in even small areas of the same color, allowing for endless varieties of contrast, shade and tonality. “I normally start out with a kind of neutral background in an orangey hue and on top of that I draw an initial outline with brownish lines. If the human body is my main theme, I use the face as a key to centre the composition. From the beginning, I have a color scheme in mind but I am always open to change.” The bulk of his work is dedicated to representing the human figure. In doing so, he simplifies reality without diminishing it.

Artist: Alfredo Roldan
Raquel. Large format interior with woman portrait and still-life
By Alfredo Roldan
Located in Segovia, ES
"Raquel" is an interior scene of a young woman, stretched out comfortably on a sofa, surrounded by flowers and fruit. She gazes placidly at the artist, who is portraying her dressed in a nightgown and a colorful dressing gown. Oil on canvas. 2003 Measurements: 90 x 200 cm / 35,43 x 78,74" The rich range of colors used and the relaxed gesture of the model envelop the atmosphere of comfort that prevails in the works of this author because, according to his words: “When I use a model I want her to be very comfortable, rested, calm and relaxed. I am not interested in movement in my work, as it always ends up too artificial for my taste and would interfere with the ambiance I am trying to create”. The flattened perspectives, the fractured surfaces, and the graphic stylizations refer to the cubism of Picasso and Juan Gris. There are echoes of Modigliani in the treatment of his female models and we can detect an homage to Gauguin and Matisse, in his playful and sensual manipulation of color. In 2003 Ediciones Sammer publishes in a deluxe edition the book Alfredo Roldán written by the sculptor David Gamella where a large part of his work is reproduced. This painting, Raquel, is reproduced on the cover of the book and also inside on a double page (294-295). ABOUT THE ARTIST Alfredo Roldán (Madrid- Spain, 1965) is a self-taught artist who, at the age of 22, began selling his works at street markets. In 1994 he won the award granted by the City Council of Madrid with the painting “El Baño Azul”, which now hangs in The Museum of Modern Art of Madrid. That year he began to work with the renowned British dealer...
