CONTEMPORARY ART - ARTISTS

The collection



The collection is the point of convergence where the plural vision of the collector Antoni Vila Casas meets contemporary art. It is a map of movements and decisions to accept particular works that embrace different ideologies and creative languages. Encompassing the period between the 1960’s and the present, with a few previous exceptions, a number of currents of pictorial and sculptural creation in Catalonia are displayed. Only the photography collection is within an international framework.





SEARCH ENGINE OF ARTISTS IN THE COLLECTION


DISCIPLINE:  
Félix Curto
Salamanca, 1967

Félix Curto’s images are vital fragments with a distinct cinematic influence. In his desire for authenticity and veracity he captures desert landscapes, nature, places of transit (non-places) and melancholy in the face of the impossibility of a collective reconstruction. Through this discipline he resurrects the primary instinct of a return to the past and reliving a forgotten memory of a society gnawed by technology, individualism and voracious consumerism.




Rosó Cusó
Barcelona, 1965

Rosó Cusó was part of the San Paulino group, alongside artists such as Marcos Palazzi and Nico Nubiola, which was characterized by its autonomy and freshness. She carefully created iron and bronze sculptures, wall or free-standing works, whereby light filters through their holes taking the form of lattices or rose windows. Surrounded by a poetic treatment of space and time, the compositional frontality endows an aura of spirituality, in which the frames that separate and unite the almost organic forms, the chaotic forests, the rose bushes of thorns and the nets, carry us towards the infinite ethereal void.




Jordi Cuxart
Barcelona, 1958

Jordi Cuxart is a scholar of photography. He explores the least known limits of the image in order to discover the basic traces that make bodies recognizable and reveal the original purity of natural forms. Through the minimalist use of light, the perfect match of volumes and lines converts the snapshot into a witness of a moment in which figure and movement are in harmony.




Ramon Dachs
Barcelona, 1959




Tito Dalmau
Barcelona, 1948 - Barcelona, 2022




Paul Daly
Liverpool, Anglaterra, 1963

British architect and artist who has lived in Barcelona since 2000. He works with organic matter and interrupts its natural decomposition processes to convert it into sculptures or collages that are backlit on the wall, thus creating a discourse on the struggle for domination between humans and nature. In 2018, he won the Fundació Vila Casas Sculpture Prize with his work Rambla. Senescència.  




Salvi Danés
Barcelona, 1985

We can place Salvi Danés’ photography in the current of new documentary, a genre that rather than seeking a unique truth, as classic documentary would do, chooses to explore broader realities from a much freer, creative and experimental perspective. He plays with the possible interpretations of scenes and the narratives he captures, focusing on themes such as subjectivity and representation. He combines his own projects, published in books such as A les 8 al Bar Eusebi, with editorial commissions and his teaching work. He has been awarded many photographic prizes at a national and international level, such as at the World Photography Awards (2009, 2012) and the IPA (International Photography Awards) (2012).




Narcís Darder
Pontós, Girona, 1923 - Bàscara, Girona, 2006




Patricia Dauder
Barcelona, 1973
