Miguel Cabezas focuses his work in landscape photography, particularly on coastal views. His images are captured using a range of resources in digital photography, filters and long exposure to light, show enigmatic, even striking scenes that invite the viewer to discover the beauty of the reality that surrounds us and enter a world in which seemingly ordinary things become exquisite.
Xavier Calicó’s evolution as an artist over the years has led his work to traverse different artistic trends, follow surprising criteria and, sometimes, insert itself into generalist currents. After an early period of experimenting with abstraction and figuration, by 1967 the artist created his own language as a reflection of a world in which synthetic forms and colours intermingle beneath a Miró-style conception. However, since the late seventies, his work has undergone a sudden change in direction and allowed itself to be seduced by German neo-expressionism, which leads to a realist figurative sense of no return.
Sergio Calleja essentially uses the technique of acrylics on a linen canvas base. In a style heavily influenced by Ringo Julián, he evolved towards a mono-chromatism (black-white-grey) as a result of observing Franz Kline’s works and Bernd and Hilla Becher’s photographs. Architectural and industrial structures endow his compositions a colossal dynamic character that chafes against the scientific-technical field, since it leads the viewer to reflect on form, analogy, basic structure of a system that starts from anonymity, solitude, like someone who observes a set of elements without noticing any real changes.
With his unmistakable style, Ramon Calsina i Baró is one of the most enigmatic twentieth-century Catalan artists. His often-misunderstood painting is noteworthy for the attractiveness and suggestiveness of the themes, in a kind of magical realism set in the working class Poblenou neighbourhood where he grew up. He also explored drawing, illustrated El Quijote and works by Edgar Allan Poe, among others, and was awarded the Fundació Ynglada-Guillot Drawing Prize in 1964. His work lies outside any artistic currents, his relationship with the art market was always discreet, but with time he garnered greater recognition and, two years before he passed away, he was awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi by the Generalitat de Catalunya (1990).
