Sortie
1982
In *Sortie*, Antonio Seguí layers oil, acrylic, charcoal, and varnish over newspaper mounted on canvas, creating a richly textured surface where fragmentary text and imagery bleed through the painted scene. The work reflects Seguí's signature visual language of anonymous, hat-wearing figures navigating urban environments, rendered with expressive, cartoonish energy. The incorporation of newspaper grounds the composition in a sense of everyday life and collective memory, while the title—French for "exit" or "way out"—hints at themes of movement, escape, and the restless flux of modern existence.
