La obra de Alfonso Fraile: una aproximación vivencial al concepto contemporáneo del espacio

Abstract

This article attempts to approach what we consider was the purpose of the pictorial research of Alfonso Fraile (one of the most important New –Figuratives), which consisted, in our opinion, in the search for resources to materialise the representation of a space based on the reflection of one’s own existence, which crystallises in an extremely subjective figuration. Towards 1986, his work gives rise to the experiential space concept, based on the idea that space only exists in as much as man, who is spatial in nature, spreads it around him, thus creating his own background.
