Rosa Brun - Donati

Técnica: Oil, canvas and wood

Biografía del Artista: She studied Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid and obtained her PhD at the University of Granada, where she is currently Professor of Painting. Her work addresses pictorial issues within the new paths for abstraction that developed in the Spanish scene of the nineties. Since the late eighties her painting has dismantled the limits of the medium, from the purely two-dimensional to spatial installation and the relationship with architecture. The use of supports in materials such as aluminium or wood, iron, glass, paper… that give different expressive qualities to the painting, simple geometric shapes in flat fields of colour, in strong, acid and contrasting tones, with a light expressive and gestural invoice, define his works that are arranged on the wall, one on top of the other – forming layers, juxtapositions or overlaps – or as free-standing objects interacting with each other in the architectural space, taking into account the perception of the spectator to create in him contrasting sensations of balance-chaos, heat-cold, weight-lightness, emptiness-fullness, verticality-horizontality. This painting-sculpture-installation updates and develops problems that derive from minimal art or North American colour field painting with reminiscences of Ad Reinhardt, Donald Judd or Barnett Newman, among others, which connects his work with the European post-minimalist movements. Her works are included in important public and private collections such as the "Reína Sofía Museum" in Madrid, the "Helga de Alvear Museum of Contemporary Art", Cáceres, the "Patio Herreriano Museum", Valladolid, the "La Caixa Foundation", Barcelona, ​​​​CA2M, Dos de Mayo Art Center, Community of Madrid, "CAC" in Malaga, "CAAC, Andalusian Center of Contemporary Art", Seville, "Artium Contemporary Art Museum", Vitoria, the "Bank of Spain" Collection...among others.
