EDGAR PLANS (Madrid, 1977). "A facial anatomie", 2007. Mixed media on canvas. Signed, titled and dated in the lower left corner and on the reverse. What can be seen on the reverse are traces of paint and matter. Certificate of authenticity attached. Measurements: 120 x 120 cm. In this painting, the artist presents us with a portrait in the purest abstract style. The way in which he composes his "facial anatomy" reminds us of Basquiat, to whom he makes a wink by placing his iconic crown in the upper right corner. The way he composes the portrait also reminds us of the aforementioned artist, as he divides the face into several quadrants and each one of them gives us different information, even writing which part of the face it represents. The artist's exercise goes beyond the main image, conceiving the work as a whole, in which the sides or edges, and the back of the canvas, also form part of the painting. In the words of the artist himself, "Even as a child I have engraved in my memory the cocking of the keys of my father's typewriter (Juan José Plans, 1943-2014). In his studio he had a low table with four seats, and around it, while he was writing, I remember drawing with my brothers". His academic training began at the age of 15 when he started studying at the studio of the artist José María Ramos. Two years later, Plans, he opened his own studio, which had in turn been the studio of the artist Nicanor Piñole.
