Luis Feito

186 B . 1960

+ Mayoral

The importance of the light factor was fundamental in his work. In the words of the prestigious French art critic and historian Pierre Restany, reproduced in the 1959 essay “Feito: Castilian lyricism and the mystical tradition”, the poetics of Feito’s work lies in the treatment of light in the composition of the painting: ‘‘It is obvious that the imagination of the space is decisive in Feito’s work. All of the pictorial elements, starting with the matter and the colour, are subject to it. […] Light, above all, is a certain condition of space and not a chromatic value”. This careful consideration of light was, undoubtedly, a differentiating factor compared with other art autre artists.
