This painting by Alberto Ruiz Villar features a geometric grid that serves as a way of mapping and structuring the composition. Within this framework, contrasting colours and overlapping shapes establish relationships across the canvas. A Philippine Blue field marks the left side, accompanied by a brown geometric form projected diagonally across the composition. A vertical arrangement of Gamma Blue, Sweet Rose and Bright Black circles introduces rhythm and contrast. Turquoise and muted green rectangular fields balance the arrangement, while diagonal divisions introduce a sense of movement. Fine construction lines, scratches and traces of earlier layers remain visible, revealing the painting's process of adjustment and revision.
Through BASPcr, we bring the painting's geometric organisation, overlapping forms and visible revisions into dialogue with our research on the urban transformations of Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera. The study examines how decisions concerning buildings, public space and territorial development have shaped the neighbourhood and the conditions of those who inhabit it. This curatorial connection opens a reflection on the relationship between planned spatial order and its material consequences, questioning whose interests shape the transformation of a territory and how its outcomes are experienced by different residents.
