Agustí Puig (Saba1957) - Hotel I

Agustí Puig, Signed and numbered lithograph lithograph by the painter Agustí Puig (Sabadell 1957). Thriving in New York at the moment. Measures: 70 x 50 cm. Influenced by the transavant-garde and seduced by comics and graphic design, Puig immerses himself in a period of romantic landscapes, which will lead to a reclamation of the roots of Pop Art. His stay in New York, in 1992, marked a rethinking of his artistic priorities; the density of matter and the gesture would accompany him through the many, incessant creative transformations. Rapid and vigorous production of earthy, reddish, white and black colors that become spaces for reflection on the essence of life and an evident return to his most primal origins. Agustí Puig has held international exhibitions and, in his long résumé as an artist, highlights a curiosity: his role in Woody Allen's film "Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona", for which he lent part of his work and also advised Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem in their roles as artists. From a young age he began painting and made a name for himself as a painter at the Sabadell School of Fine Arts, in the early 1980s. Parallel to that, he was soon recognized in the field of graphic design. He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts of Sabadell, at the Massana School and the Círculo Artístico de San Lucas in Barcelona. In 1985 he received the 4th honorable mention for the Joan Miró International Drawing Prize, and in 1986 he was selected for the Young Art Show organized by the Spanish Ministry of Culture. He has exhibited in Spain, France, England, the United States and Japan. He collaborated as a painter in the Woody Allen film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which has brought him recognition outside the usual circles. Puig's extensive work has been shown in several institutions and is part of collections both private and public: the Taipei Fine Arts Museum in Taiwan, the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, the Testigo Collection of the Fundació la Caixa in the Balearic Islands, or the Tarragona Museum of Contemporary Art, among others.
