With echoes of American abstract expressionism, Manu Algueró's immense canvases draw us in with their interplay of matter, colour and artist’s gesture in search of visual impact. The large amount of paint used to create multiple textures, shades and reliefs is applied with a spontaneity that is often subsequently scrutinised and modified. Besides their technical vigour, his works also show the artist's interest in the study of the human face, which is suggested by his highly dramatic unfinished figures.
