Joan Abelló

Mollet del Vallès, Barcelona, 1922 - Barcelona, 2008

Joan Abelló was a self-taught and empirical painter who drew from a heterogenous set of artistic perspectives. A disciple of Pere Pruna, he specialized in the techniques of mural and engraving. In the mid-forties, he evolved towards an impressionist tendency, which later on led to explosive colours using vigorous brushstrokes. In the latter years of Joan Abelló’s career, his most distinctive style focused on a predominantly material, informalist and expressionist approach, without neglecting figuration.
