In this compact work by Pere Llobera, layers of imagery collide. Cartoon-like forms, seemingly sketched in haste, float over a dark, shadowy ground. A hint of perspectival space emerges through the rough paint textures, only to be disrupted by the dynamic, almost hallucinatory figures that dominate the surface. Eyes, limbs, and outlines flicker into view before dissolving again, caught in a state of flux.
Llobera treats painting as an elusive language—figuration and abstraction tumbling over one another—while the work hovers between playfulness and unease. Is this a forgotten visual fragment, a memory glitch, or a dreamlike image refusing to fully reveal itself?
With his loose, expressive brushwork and layered imagery, Llobera allows the painting to breathe—a fleeting, ungraspable moment that continually reshapes itself in the viewer’s eye.
