Xavier Calicó’s evolution as an artist over the years has led his work to traverse different artistic trends, follow surprising criteria and, sometimes, insert itself into generalist currents. After an early period of experimenting with abstraction and figuration, by 1967 the artist created his own language as a reflection of a world in which synthetic forms and colours intermingle beneath a Miró-style conception. However, since the late seventies, his work has undergone a sudden change in direction and allowed itself to be seduced by German neo-expressionism, which leads to a realist figurative sense of no return.
