Domar el veinto (Taming the Wind) consists of five large-format paintings on canvas and three medium-sized works on paper, all produced between 2023 and 2024.
As an artist, Tusquets revels in the joy of painting,
employing calculated gestural techniques alongside punctuated
splattering and spontaneous layering. This technique allows the paint to
flow freely, underscoring the fluid nature of the medium and the
artist’s commitment to energetic compositions. The acrylic glides over
and seeps in the unprimed canvas—a deliberate choice of substrate that
enhances the absorption of the pigment. His choice to go large allows
Tusquets to pursue his goal of unbound vibrancy.
Tusquet's distinct gesture—geometric yet loose in
form—gives an organic, non-static quality to the overall composition.
It's as if the formal and informal elements are in a constant state of
transformation, blurring the lines between structure and disarray. This
gestural play is the basis of Tusquet's creative process, allowing him
to infuse his paintings with dynamism and spontaneity.
The titles of the works reference familiar
structures: houses, cubes, bathrooms, and more. At some moments we see
traces of these structures in roughly associated linear brushstrokes;
the outlines are enigmatic, oscillating between the concretisation of an
object and evaporation. This visual turbulence offers a fascinating
glimpse into Tusquets' unique interpretation of spatial configurations
and familiar forms.
His artistic practice—reminiscent of Color Field and
Abstract Expressionism from the mid-20th century in the United
States—brings pure pleasure to the canvas, a process of mixing and
remixing that gives Tusquets' work a joyous unpredictability.
