λ AGUSTÍ PUIG (SPANISH B.1957)MAN AT ONE SIDE, 2017Mixed media on linen laid to board Signed and inscribed Barcelona verso 220 x 330cm (86½ x 129¾ in.)Unframed SALEROOM NOTICE:Please note the measurements are 122cm wide, 160cm high, and not as stated in the printed catalogue. Agustí Puig was born in Barcelona in 1957. Puig learned a great deal of his craft working in different artist's studios as a young art student at Escola Massana and Cercle Artistic Sant Lluc in Barcelona. Whilst his first solo exhibitions were in Barcelona and other Spanish cities he was soon to break through onto the international exhibition circuit with shows in Lisbon, London, Paris, Germany, Japan and the United States. Puig's large scale canvasses are monumental in size and impact. The works are layered with thick pools of paint and impasto which flow smoothly across the canvas. The artist also works with ceramics and sculptures. His interest in tactile materials is evident in these canvases and the way he has built up the layers. The figures are sometimes represented in side profile or facing one another, like the diptych presented in this auction. The juxtaposition of black, white and red is particularly powerful and reiterates the scale of the works as the viewer stands beneath the works soaring above them. The singular lines, splashes, scratching out and thick impasto don't immediately look like figures and then one sees the outline of a head, or an eye peering through and this is when you realise the body of the work as a whole. Puig also has a passion for etching and printmaking and most famously worked on the poster and postage stamp for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Condition Report: There are some minor scuffs and abrasions to the edges and in two small spots on the thicker areas of surface impasto, but generally it appears to be in excellent original condition. SALEROOM NOTICE:Please note the measurements are 59.5cm x123cmCondition Report Disclaimer

Abbey Travel 477; Lipperheide (1965) Ld 37; not in Colas or Tooley. Rare. 'Relatively little is known about Mrs. Belnos. Her husband, Jean-Jacques Belnos, was a French miniaturist and lithographer, who had travelled to India in 1807, and established a practice in Calcutta as a painter of miniatures and portraits of the British, a business which his widow seems to have continued following his death' (De Silva, Colonial Self-Fashioning in British India, c.1785-1845, pp. 106-7). Abbey speculates that Mrs Belnos was Indian, but she was in fact almost certainly the daughter of William Moore, assistant surgeon in the Bengal army. This seems to be her second and last published work, following Twenty four Plates Illustrative of Hindoo and European Manners in Bengal, which appeared in 1832.
