10 días bastante intensos. Entre pasar por Chillida Leku, escaparme unos días a Biarritz, empalmarlo con el Talking Galleries, donde tuve el placer de conocer a Massimo De Carlo y a otros profesionales maravillosos, y acabar cruzando el charco de Barcelona a Los Ángeles por asuntos varios, creo que todavía no he tenido tiempo ni de asimilarlo todo.

Han sido días de no parar, de conocer gente, ver cosas interesantes y acumular ideas por el camino. Pero, para qué engañarnos, empiezo a echar bastante de menos mi cueva y pasarme el día pintando :)

Y mientras yo andaba de aquí para allá, también me han llegado las primeras fotos de las nuevas cerámicas 😍

Ahora toca volver al taller, poner un poco de orden y seguir trabajando.

10 pretty intense days. Between visiting Chillida Leku, sneaking away to Biarritz for a few days, heading straight to Talking Galleries, where I had the pleasure of meeting Massimo De Carlo and so many other wonderful people from the art world, and then crossing the Atlantic from Barcelona to Los Angeles for various reasons, I don’t think I’ve even had time to take it all in yet.

It’s been a whirlwind of meeting people, seeing interesting things, and collecting ideas along the way. But, who am I kidding, I’m really starting to miss my little cave and spending my days painting :)

And while I’ve been running around, I’ve also received the first photos of my new ceramics 😍

Now it’s time to get back to the studio, put things in order, and get back to work. by @ivan.forcadell

Pues este finde me fui a ver La bola negra, como medio país, bajo la creencia de que seguramente era una de esas cosas en las que el bombo se había acabado comiendo la obra. También me hacía gracia ver caras familiares en la gran pantalla.

Pero la realidad fue otra muy diferente. Es una película maravillosamente bonita, que me dejó bastante tocado, con un mal cuerpo que he arrastrado hasta hoy y escuchando en bucle, como si estuviera poseído, La nieve.

Así que, bajo los toques de rosa de mi admirado @manuelantoniodomingeuz y con el afán de seguir por ahí, al día siguiente me fui a ver flamencos, a seguir amando la tierra, a ver caer el sol y a revisar una pieza de un amante pasado.

Supongo que hay findes que van un poco de eso. by @ivan.forcadell

At the very end of summer, in the heart of Empordà — accompanied by a text by Pablo Pareja in @tramuntanagallery

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿

There is a moment in summer when the light seems to remember itself. The days stretch
out more slowly, as if they knew they would soon have to draw back in, and in the
afternoons the air still holds the weight of heat, but begins to lose its certainty. Between
persistence and farewell, a final few days appear, carrying something of ripe fruit, of skin
that peels away, of sand cooling beneath the feet. They announce no ending, and yet
they make us look differently at what, until then, had seemed inexhaustible.
It is here that Ivan’s paintings, drawings and ceramics find an unexpected affinity. In this
small space, the pieces are not offered as a closed sequence, but as fragments of a single
pulse, of a single temperature. Each work seems to hold on to a scene that never quite
explains itself: a gesture or a form that persists as the light begins to soften, without
fully revealing where it comes from or where it is going.

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 →

There is something of summer in this insistence, in this time that advances little by little.
The pieces enter into dialogue with the children running through the streets, with the
ice creams that melt faster than a desire would last, and with the grandparents who
watch the world without moving from their corner. And, above all, with the last melon
of the holidays, shared in irregular slices on an afternoon that already smells of autumn.
That melon which is not the sweetest of all, nor the most perfect, but which has
something of the others: the moisture of the first, the ripeness of the second, the
awareness that it will be the last.
This collection of pieces also shares the rhythm of summer loves: intense, fleeting
encounters without great artifice, which do not promise eternity but remain etched
forever. To look at them is, perhaps, a way of inhabiting this interval. Colours become
traces; forms suggest; ceramics preserve the gesture of the hand; drawing fixes a fragile
line; and painting stops time in order to make its movement visible.
And perhaps this by @ivan.forcadell

L’última melona de l’estiu 🍈

In summer, I like to put on an exhibition somewhere away from the big cities, in places with farming and artisan communities or, simply, somewhere quiet.

This year, it’s Empordà, just as summer is starting to say goodbye — perhaps as a way of making it last just a little bit longer.

This time, I’m sharing a roof with Francesc Ruiz Abad @copytolearn at @tramuntanagallery.

And, as the cherry on top, Pablo Pareja has written a pretty lovely text for it :)

———-

L’última melona de l’estiu 🍈

A l’estiu m’agrada fer alguna expo lluny de les grans ciutats, en llocs amb comunitats pageses, artesanes o, simplement, llocs tranquils.

Aquest any toca l’Empordà, just quan l’estiu comença a acomiadar-se, potser amb la intenció de fer-lo durar un pelet més.

Aquesta vegada compartint sostre amb Francesc Ruiz Abad @copytolearn a @tramuntanagallery.

Ah, i com a cirereta, Pablo Pareja ha escrit un text la mar d’aseat :)
