Miquel Barcelà : Artist's Portfolio (Cuadernos de Artista)

For this edition of Matador’s Artist’s Portfolio series, Spanish painter Miquel Barceló (born 1957) presents four series made between 2009–2010. In these series Barceló paints without paint, instead using bleach and soot, which he applies to black paper and canvases. The bleach “develops” the image by removing its background.
