The book delves into the artist's personal synthesis of gestural and geometric abstraction, organizing its analysis around the configuration process of his pieces. Through the breakdown of objective graphic elements, the reader discovers how the repetition and variation of these components form the author's distinct series, with geometric compartmentalization acting as the common thread to access a body of work that uses rigor and order as methodological tools to explore new plastic options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe catalogue presents a detailed study of the work of José Manuel Ciria, a painter defined by his ability to fuse the two great currents of abstraction: the gestural and the geometric. The exhibition it documents, \"The Gates of Waset,\" is structured around a key restrictive element: geometric compartmentalization. This device acts as a common thread that allows the spectator and reader to access a creative universe where order and rigor are not limitations, but tools for discovering new plastic possibilities. The work analyzes how Ciria breaks down objective graphic elements and, through their repetition and variation, constructs the different series that make up his recent production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGestural and geometric abstraction in contemporary painting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProcesses of configuration and materialization of artistic work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of pictorial series based on objective graphic elements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGeometric compartmentalization as a creative methodology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCatalogue raisonné of the José Manuel Ciria exhibition at Tabacalera (2014-2015).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at visual artists, art historians, fine arts students, art critics, and collectors interested in contemporary abstract painting.
