The painting develops a vertically organised composition in which a broad band of soft pastel blue occupies the upper section, establishing a ceiling-like plane above an expansive coral field. Within this central space, repeated dark angular forms suggest projections or folded surfaces, introducing a sense of depth and rhythm into an otherwise flat geometric arrangement. To the left, a vertical Classy Green rectangle anchors the composition, interrupting the coral field and creating a pronounced contrast in scale and colour. Several geometric forms extend beyond the visible boundaries, suggesting a spatial arrangement that continues outside the canvas. Fine construction lines, scratches and subtle variations in the painted surface reveal traces of the work's material process.
Through BASPcr, we bring this composition into dialogue with our territorial research on Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera, particularly the ways urban space is divided, organised and represented. Our study examines how administrative boundaries and spatial classifications define the neighbourhood while encompassing different forms of occupation, use and material conditions. This curatorial connection invites a reading of the relationship between geometric order and inhabited space, questioning how the apparent clarity of a spatial arrangement relates to the more complex realities of the territory it describes.
