Contemporary Spanish School (XX) - The Prisoner - cm 134 x 90

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Hand-signed "Turrión, 1999" in the lower right corner. - Far from reducing to a mere practice of the desire or to an erotic fixation, the presence of the rope on the bare skin in this composition is articulated as a rigorous ontological meditation on the limits of human freedom. In the gesture that confines the arms and wraps the face in dense canvas, bondage sheds its profane immediacy to become a ritual of existential suspension: the voluntary renunciation of movement and sight is not empty submission here, but a paradoxical path of retreat toward the inner absolute. By depriving the subject of the ability to intervene in the world —to touch, to see, to flee— the painting evokes Hegel’s dialectical tension between master and slave, suggesting that true sovereignty over consciousness only emerges when the body accepts measuring itself against the physical boundary of its own limits and bindings. - Image dimensions without frame: 72 x 116 cm / 90 x 134 cm with exclusive custom frame.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although it is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally. Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and unrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every purchase, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate certifies that the purchased work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin, and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes complete details about the piece, such as the author, date of creation, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece.

As experts in art logistics, Montbaron Gallery is committed to ensuring that every piece arrives at its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee the utmost care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping costs indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to change depending on various circumstances, including fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping price will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed beforehand before proceeding with shipping. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring the work reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises. The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or the seller, and therefore is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at the buyer’s home, it can be displayed immediately on their wall. Accordingly, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as valid grounds for filing a claim or requesting a cancellation.
