LLUÍS VENTÓS (Barcelona, 1952). Untitled. Mixed media on canvas. Signed in the upper right-hand corner. Size: 46 x 54 cm; 57 x 67 cm (frame). A self-taught painter and sculptor, Lluis Ventós made his debut in 1977 in an exhibition at the Sala Seny in Barcelona. Since then he has held numerous solo exhibitions all over Catalonia, as well as in Madrid (Juan Gris, ARCO...), Florence and Paris, among other cities. During the eighties he incorporated into his work what would become a constant in his evolution as an artist: the permanent search for synthesis, for the most elemental subtlety. Ventós is represented in the Testimonio Collection of the Caixa de Pensions de Catalunya and the Cadaqués Museum. In recent years he has exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés in Barcelona.
