Walter Redondo is a San Diego-based post-modern abstract artist working predominantly in oils on canvas. Although primarily self-taught, Walter Redondo has clearly studied the great Modern painters, including Willem de Kooning, Joan Michell, Robert Motherwell, and Cy Twombly. His admiration of these artists led Walter Redondo in the development of his own distinctive painting style, which has evolved past its original basis in Abstract Expressionism and into its own unique sphere. Today, Walter Redondo's paintings are thoughtfully organized and complex, often containing an allegorical component.
Walter Redondo has a facination with textures and spacial relationships, and his sophisticated, multilayered imagery is dramatic, elusive, and facinating in its lyrical complexity. The essence of his paintings is not wholly found in his technique, in that the viewer does not simply view the work. Rather, his paintings insist on viewer interaction with the colors, layers, depths and allegories.
