Joaquim Chancho - The pulse of time




DATES
09/10/2025 - 22/02/2026
LOCATION
Castell de Vila-Seca



Joaquim Chancho (Riudoms, Tarragona, 1943) inherits a solid international abstract tradition and has become one of the key figures in abstraction in Catalonia, and artist of international stature. His capacity for synthesis has led him to condense the pictorial act to the extent of creating his own alphabet; an essential, pure alphabet, with no other pretext than painting itself and its language.

In a similar way, the exhibition entitled The pulse of time aims to go to the source, to the primordial structure that sustains Joaquim Chancho’s artwork. This is the context in which we have recovered, among other representative works from his collection created during a long-established career, a series of notepads and notebooks that the artist has always used and that he discreetly gives a generic name “tabletop works”. Nevertheless, these are notebooks that, in the words of Bernat Puigdollers, curator of the exhibition, “affect the core nature of his work, what makes him unique as an artist. In his brushstroke, understood as a trace of life that has found its maximum expression in painting that is pushed to the limit. A language, painting, that for centuries some have wished were dead, but that powerfully springs to life time and time again”.
