Prolific artist who is considered to be one of the most notable Catalan abstract painters of the fifties. From his post-impressionist beginnings imbued with a certain Fauvism, he evolves towards a geometric abstraction influenced by Léger. From 1957 onwards, drawing inspiration from Tachism, he focused on “planimetries”, images composed of lines and spatial configurations that make the material and disintegrating gesture his most characteristic feature. His works are included in the institutional collections at the MACBA, Tate Gallery and Fundación Juan March, among others.
A pharmacist by training and family tradition, he gained recognition for his writing, visual poetry and objectual and ready-made creations. He created an independent oeuvre in these disciplines at the margins of the artistic and literary circles at the time. In the nineties, he opened the “Lo Pardal” complex in Agramunt, which houses the Fundació Privada Guillem Viladot today, dedicated to preserving his memory and legacy.
