21022026 — by Alberto Ruiz Villar

65 × 54 cm — Acrylic, graphite and gesso on canvas. Barcelona, 2026.

21022026 is organised around a geometric grid that establishes the composition's spatial structure and rhythm. Within this framework, circular and rectangular forms overlap and interrupt the divisions, creating distinct but interconnected fields of colour. Absolute Blue dominates the upper-right corner, reappearing in lighter shades throughout the composition. Large charcoal circles provide visual weight, while Gainsboro grey forms a marked and scratched ground. Touches of light mustard yellow introduce contrast, while visible scratches and traces of earlier interventions reveal the painting's layered surface.

Through BASPcr, we bring Ruiz Villar's visual language into dialogue with our territorial research on Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera. The study documents significant socioeconomic differences across the neighbourhood's census sections, revealing distinct material conditions within a single administrative territory. This curatorial connection introduces an additional reading of the relationship between spatial divisions and the realities they contain, inviting reflection on what formal boundaries reveal and what they leave unseen.
