In this new body of work, Catalan artist Ramón Enrich harnesses his passion for architecture in his paintings of geometric and colourful landscapes. Inspired by rationalist and African architecture, Enrich creates landscapes of geometric shapes with a non-human reference point placing buildings at the heart of the canvases. Proposing a dialogue between architecture and landscape, Enrich totally transforms the barren, urban landscapes he depicts. Within a grid-like structure reminiscent of city planning, the artist's use of colour and space acquire great importance, transcending their representative function and creating instead an surreal, spell-binding atmosphere.  

"Architecture and architectural painting allow me to play around with fiction and the mystery required to show the symbolic power of elements." Ramón Enrich  

Enrich's paintings have a distinct syntax in their deceptive simplicity and formal strictness. Trees and buildings are reduced to spheres, cubes and cones, pushing the limits of abstraction. Always with a very particular and enigmatic atmosphere, full of references to Mediterranean culture, his paintings produce spatial conceptions where colour and space have no time or place.
