Our thanks to Alfonso de la Torre, the author of Manuel Rivera's Catalogue Raisonné, for his kind support, Madrid, 11.10.24.

Manuel Rivera was a key exponent of informal art and co-founder of the avant-garde movement "El Paso", which emerged in Madrid in the mid-1950s. ‘El Paso’ advocated free, authentic and experimental art and saw itself as a means of political, ethical and social protest during the Franco regime.

One of Manuel Rivera's central objectives was to translate real spatial experiences into pictorial form. His interest in light and the effect and perception of space accompanied him from an early age. Even as a teenager, he spent many late afternoons in Granada trying to capture the subdued, intangible light of dusk on paper. Following a creative crisis and obsessed with the idea of creating spaces in all their fullness, Rivera initially experimented with a series of works on canvas and, in the process, reached a certain limit. By chance, he discovered a wire mesh in a shop window that was being used for exhibition purposes. Rivera began to experiment with it and finally found his material. He began to stretch wire mesh on frames, observing how the light penetrated through its fine weave and how the visual effect changed depending on the perspective. From then on, Rivera arranged and installed various elements in different ways. The result is a fascinating visual complexity and a unique interplay of light and space. Kinetic effects are created depending on the angle of vision and the external conditions. It is as if one is looking at a spider's web that meticulously tries to capture light instead of insects. The result is a pulsating, lively, almost threatening presence. Rivera's works are also characterised by different textures, colours and transparencies. Surrounded by a mysterious aura, we witness how the boundaries between painting and sculpture become blurred and Rivera's endeavours come to the fore in all their fullness.
