Description of the Artwork
The painting "Rambla de Barcelona" by Jordi Curós Ventura is a vibrant explosion of color and movement, capturing the endless energy of Barcelona's famous boulevard. With bold, expressive brushstrokes, Curós portrays the bustling Las Ramblas, filled with pedestrians and the dynamic interplay of figures.
The artist employs an intense Fauvist palette, with striking contrasts of blues, reds, and yellows that enhance the scene’s vitality. The composition is structured around the vertical presence of the iconic modernist streetlamp and a large tree, anchoring the urban setting while guiding the viewer's eye through the scene.
The dynamic movement of figures reinforces the sense of a lively urban environment—tourists, locals, and passersby blend into the vibrant atmosphere of the city. The thick, rapid brushstrokes add texture and gestural energy, suggesting rather than defining the forms, allowing the viewer to engage with the painting on an emotional level.
This oil painting, created in the 1980s, showcases the artist's mature style, deeply rooted in expressive Fauvism, drawing from Post-Impressionism and Catalan avant-garde influences.
About the Artist: Jordi Curós Ventura (1930-2017)
Jordi Curós was a Catalan painter, born in Olot in 1930 and trained at the School of Art of Olot. He emerged as a key figure in contemporary Catalan art, moving from realism to a colorful expressive style that closely approached Fauvism in his later years.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Curós established himself in the Spanish art scene, participating in both national and international exhibitions. By the 1980s, when this work was created, his style had evolved into a freer, more expressive representation of urban and Mediterranean landscapes, focusing on light, atmosphere, and motion.
His works are housed in prestigious public and private collections, including the Fundació Vila Casas, the Museu de la Garrotxa, and several major cultural institutions in Spain and abroad.
Style and Related Artists
Jordi Curós developed a Fauvist-inspired approach, influenced by Post-Impressionism and color-driven expressionism, aligning with the styles of:
Henri Matisse (1869-1954): Expressive use of color and form simplification.
André Derain (1880-1954): Bold color contrasts and energetic urban scenes.
Raoul Dufy (1877-1953): Luminous painting with fluid brushwork and atmospheric effects.
Joaquim Mir (1873-1940): Mediterranean light and vibrant landscapes.
Josep Moscardó (1953-): Colorful and dynamic depictions of Barcelona and city life.
In "Rambla de Barcelona", Jordi Curós reinterprets the urban landscape with a Fauvist approach, where color is not merely descriptive but emotionally charged, conveying energy and movement throughout the composition.
