Cuenca, 1925. Spanish painter and sculptor. Forestry Technician works as an engineer until 1965, year in which he decided to devote himself entirely to painting. Of self-formation in 1941 made cathodes of botany for Forest Flora of Spain, which already shows his extraordinary gifts as a draftsman. AFTER a few years living in Teruel moved to Cuenca in 1951. In 1956 he met the painter Fernando Zbel, which since then he uniruna deep friendship. Between 1963 and 1966, together with the painter Gerardo Rueda also collaborates in the array installation at the Museum of Abstract Art, created by Zbel Espaol. A special sensitivity to nature appears in a series of photographs of pieces of tree bark, rocks, moss, leaves, etc, made in 1955. From these years his work delves into the abstraction to a series of landscapes of dense textures that by 1958 compositions become divided horizontally into two parts, which plays with different textures and materials (rough - smooth metal plate ,...), filled with evocations of landscape and nature Cuenca. Difficult to pigeonhole into a single discipline, Torner also works of monumental sculpture, which usually custom made and specific locations. Over the years his painting evolved towards a constructivist abstraction. His work as a painter and sculptor combines with the realization of set designers and costume drama and pear, the design of exhibitions for the Foundation Juan March and the restructuring of the new rooms of the Museum Prado. Works in Cuenca in 1977 with the team preparing the General Plan City Planning and participates in the design of new windows in the cathedral that was installed in 1991. In 1987 the Spanish government granted the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts and in 1992 was appointed to the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. Text masdearte.com
