Joan Carles Roca Sans (barcelona 1946), The Two Friends

This painting Les Amies is characteristic of the years 2003-2007, a time when a profound transformation took place in the work of Roca Sans.
After going through dramatic personal experiences, the search for light becomes an obsession.
By realizing that the line of the drawing makes it possible to mark the difference between a figure and the background without changing color, Roca Sans gives a new reading to figurative painting.
Managing to represent space through the balance of colors and temperatures, he claims a subjective and non-photographic framework for artistic creation and explores the possibilities of light to find his own spiritual space.

The rhythm is then given by the line, the strength of this painting. Inspired by a painting by Matisse to create these Friends, a pictorial subject explored elsewhere by many painters, we discover through this canvas, the significant esthetic impact rendered by an extreme economy of colors
