This movement sought to break with tradition without following the prevailing informalist and abstract artistic current of the time.<\/p>\n<p>The artist takes aspects from informalism and expressionism that allow him to play with materials, forms and colour to distort the human figure and represent Man\u2019s most destructive aspects.<\/p>\n<p>In his search to convey restlessness and anguish, Deira presents us with a work that appears chaotic, although it is the result of an exhaustive compositional process.<\/p>\n<p>This can all be seen in his work <em>Caronte<\/em>. Here, the artist has used the colour red to merge the background and the figures. We can just about distinguish these figures thanks to fine lines drawn around them by the artist, along with specific changes in colour. Other geometric shapes intermingle on the canvas next to this large area of red, forming part of the human figures depicted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul id=\"imageGallery\">\r\n\r\n   \r\n   <li data-thumb=\"https:\/\/museoralli.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/188_Deira_Caronte-web-150x150.jpg\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/museoralli.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/188_Deira_Caronte-web.jpg\">\r\n      <figure>\r\n         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/museoralli.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/188_Deira_Caronte-web.jpg\" alt=\"\">\r\n      <\/figure>\r\n      <div class=\"gallery-info\">\r\n\r\n         <span class=\"ig-title\">Caronte, 1985<\/span>\r\n         <span><p><em>Charon<\/em><strong><br \/>\nErnesto Deira<\/strong><br \/>\nAcrylic on fabric<br \/>\n200 x 160 cm<\/p>\n<p>Ralli Collection<\/p>\n<\/span>\r\n\r\n         <span class=\"ralli-collection\" ><\/span>\r\n\r\n         \r\n      <\/div>\r\n   <\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Silvia S\u00e1nchez<br \/>\nCurator<\/p>\n \r\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3h1i43i elementor-widget elementor-widget-ucaddon_uc_faq_accordion c-accordions-container\"\r\n    data-id=\"3h1i43i\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ucaddon_uc_faq_accordion.default\">\r\n    <div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\r\n      \r\n\r\n        <div class=\"uc_faq_accordion\" id=\"uc_uc_faq_accordion_elementor_3h1i43i\">\r\n            <div class=\"uc_container\">\r\n\r\n                                    \r\n                <div class=\"uc_ac_box\" data-id=\"0\">\r\n                    <div class=\"uc-heading uc_trigger-uc_uc_faq_accordion_elementor_3h1i43i\"\r\n                        id=\"uc_uc_faq_accordion_elementor_3h1i43i\" data-id=\"0\">\r\n                        <div class=\"ue_trigger\" >\r\n                            <span class=\"uc_dactive bbb\">+<\/span>\r\n                            <span class=\"uc_active bbb\">-<\/span>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"ue_spacer\"><\/div>\r\n                        <em>References<\/em> \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <div class=\"uc_content\" >\r\n                        <p>SULLIVAN, E.
