The sculptor Pia Crozet trained as an artist in Paris and in 1973 was awarded the national diploma in sculpture in France. She subsequently settled in Girona where she developed artistic projects aimed at preserving the city’s historical and artistic heritage. Along with her husband, the writer and poet Josep Tarrés, she promoted the restoration of the Centre Isaac el Cec in Girona. She has lived and has a workshop in France since 2004. She has also worked with collage, engraving, drawing and tapestry. Particularly noteworthy is her study of the stone symbolism that cathedral builders engraved on its walls; lapidary signs that connect two realities: spiritual-material, supernatural-natural, universal-individual and divine-human.
Voluptuousness and abundance are displayed in the works by the painter and sculptor Albert Curells. Gestural brushstrokes, using a limited chromatic range that plays with blacks and whites, inundate his canvases building a brief forceful iconography dominated by the female sex, food, animals, life and death. His work has a distinctly Mediterranean character to it, impetuous yet structured, realistic yet ironic, that flees from artifice in search of simplicity.
Anna Cuatrecasas graduated in the History of Art, then enrolled at the Facultat de Belles Arts and moved to Paris to complete her training there. She held her first solo exhibition in the Sala Dalmau, Barcelona, in 1992. Her pictorial work is composed of multiple ideograms and figurative references which, like hieroglyphics, offer the viewer a set of clues that immerse and project us into the artist’s most intimate and personal universe.
Jaume Cubells was a sculptor and professor of Fine Arts. In the fifties, he was one of the driving forces behind the new Catalan plastic arts, carrying out his artistic and teaching work throughout Europe, particulary in Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands. His first informalist plastic steps soon led on to a primitive expressionism taking its main inspiration from wooden totemic forms. In contrast, from the seventies and eighties he incorporated resins, plastics and chromaticisms into his procedures. The carving, which seems to be shaped by nature itself, plays with parabolic lines and empty spaces that endow lightness and movement to the pieces.
Whether it be from a bird’s eye view or face on, Daniel Cuervo reproduces cities such as Pamplona and San Sebastián in the most intimate detail, places chosen given his personal relationship of past experiences that live on in his memory. The artist plays with the vision by placing our eye in a frame that becomes a lens, in a simulation of photography. He wanders, observes and attentively perceives the moment of a fleeting glance in the environment. He documents by freezing time and the light of urban architectures that surround that transient reality.
Modest Cuixart is a renowned artist from the second half of the twentieth century. He co-founded the Dau al Set group and is heir to the surrealism in terms of his defence of freedom as a determining condition of the artist’s vital and creative approach. While his work was wholly inserted into informalism until the late seventies, his series of dolls became the preamble to a new period that led him to research the human body. Most notable among the many awards he garnered throughout his career are the First International Painting Prize at the V Biennial in São Paulo and the Abstract Painting Prize in Lausanne, both in 1959. He received the Creu de Sant Jordi, awarded by the Generalitat de Catalunya, in 1983, and the Medalla de Oro al Mérito en las Bellas Artes, from the Spanish Ministry of Culture, in 1999.
Eva Cunill is a multidisciplinary creator, who constantly researches new procedures, techniques and forms to make an introspective and synthetic work. Everything that is never seen, emotions, vibrations and strength, rise to the surface and materialize through her works, which capture the essence of what she wants to express. A rhythmic and spontaneous universe that she constructs from simplification which manages to convey an imperceptible and impalpable character.
Dolors Curell is a landscape painter who invites the viewer to dream and meditate. Mediterranean atmospheres of great chromatic subtlety and infinite serenity. Oils and acrylics that give form to the female body, to abstract or deform her anatomical features through a hermetic and oppressive geometric order.
From works in which the line and schematism predominate, Jordi Curós gradually researched the use of other materials and textures to thereby recall figuration. Whether it be Las Ramblas, Ibiza, Cadaqués or Sitges, the artist’s gaze is offered to us full of light, with a Fauvist sensation that drifts towards gestural simplicity. He made compositions that combine figuration and abstract strokes, chromatism and textures.
