Press Release

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.

About the Artist

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. Within a grid-like structure reminiscent of city planning, flat roofs, never ending staircases and barren, lifeless landscapes render the architecture functionless creating a surrealist and spell-binding feel. As if the sun is approaching objects from multiple angles, the elusive light accentuates various perspective shifts developed in his own artistic realm where ideas of space, abstraction and composition can continually be explored. Always with a particular and enigmatic atmosphere, his paintings reference Mediterranean culture and a spatial conception where colour and the design of spaces have no time or place.
