Ramiro Fernandez Saus
Influential Catalan artist Ramiro Fernandez Saus captures the imaginative thrill of discovering unexplored lands. Even within his interiors, patterned wallpapers become jungles.“My characters are poetic figures: they don’t have a logical explanation. They arrive to me in an intuitive way and most of the time I don’t know why. But I can always tell for sure if they are going to enlighten the mystery in the painting.” - Ramiro Fernandez Saus
Autobiographical notes permeate through the signature tremulous brushstrokes of Saus’ paintings. His works are “a new kind of vision, a more amused, philosophical take on whatever it is that triggers his remembrance of things past, and their relationship to the present” – Jay Merrick. Whilst on the surface the viewer is taken to visit distant lands, encounter exotic romance and step into the secrets rooms of Ramiro’s imagination; the poignant undercurrent of metaphorical imagery and his colour palette reflect the artist’s emotions. It is this subject matter that the distinguished painter Craigie Aitchison loved. The two artists were great friends until Craigie’s death in 2009. Just two weeks before he died Craigie visited Ramiro’ exhibition at Long and Ryle.
