Vicente Lara (1992) - Diptych: Señora sobre diván con...

Pair of Oils on Panel by Vicente Lara (Madrid, 1992) – Contemporary Figurative Expressionism Description of the lot: Exquisite and unusual pair of original works by the contemporary artist Vicente Lara, titled "Lady on Divan with Mirrors" and "Lady Lying on Bathroom Floor with Gentleman Meditating." Both pieces stand out for their great material force and a deep psychological atmosphere, framed within the figurative expressionism and Spanish informalism of the late 20th century. The works play with the fragmentation of space through reflections, geometric distortions, and a rich application of oil with dense textures, spatula work, and scraping on panel. The expressive use of ochre tones, earth tones, greens, and grays creates domestic, intimate scenes with enormous introspective and existential charge. Excellent documentation and interest for collectors: The reverses of both pieces preserve intact all of their documentary provenance, guaranteeing absolute authenticity and direct provenance from a gallery: • Original catalog labels: The machine-stamped labels used for exhibition records are preserved. As a detail of great value, the label reveals the artist’s original conceptual title ("with gentleman meditating"), which differs slightly from the simplified wall placards of the show ("with man lying down"). • Provenance stamps and exact date: The back of the wood bears the date stamp of May 8, 1992, along with the stamp of the Madrid framing workshop Cristalerías M. Martín (Calle Alcalá / López de Hoyos, Madrid). This unambiguously places the preparation and inauguration of the show in spring 1992. Technical details: • Artist: Vicente Lara (Signed in the lower right corner) • Era: Contemporary (May 1992) • School: Vanguard / Lyric abstraction and Spanish Expressionism • Technique: Oil on panel (Provides a rigid support ideal for the textures worked by the artist)
