Contemporary Spanish painting blending abstraction, lyrical figuration, gestural painting, and landscape-inspired expressionism.

In Pintura de Campo, Alfonso Albacete (Spain, 1950) transforms landscape into sensation.

The exhibition moves through color, gesture, texture, and fragments of form that appear and dissolve across the canvas. Rather than representing nature literally, the paintings evoke atmosphere, rhythm, distance, and movement.

You’re watching:

• Expansive compositions balanced between abstraction and figuration
• Vibrant color fields interrupted by energetic marks and traces
• Paintings that suggest roads, horizons, vegetation, and weather without fully defining them
• A visual language that feels spontaneous yet deeply constructed

The works feel open, fluid, and intensely painterly.

Yes — especially if you love painting itself as an experience.

Because Alfonso Albacete belongs to a generation of Spanish artists who redefined painting after the conceptual dominance of previous decades — bringing emotion, gesture, and materiality back into the conversation.

Pintura de Campo is less about seeing a place and more about feeling how painting can translate perception, memory, and movement.

And inside Madrid’s gallery scene, it’s a reminder that contemporary painting can still feel fresh, physical, and alive.

Step back first → the compositions breathe from a distance

Then move close → notice the layers, textures, and brushwork

Don’t search for exact representation → let the paintings stay open

Pay attention to rhythm and color relationships rather than “subject matter”
