The Fundació Lluís Coromina presents, on March 4 at 6 pm at the Espai Isern Dalmau in Barcelona, the catalog of the exhibition Semper amb les veles suspeses by the painter Jordi Maragall, a publication that collects the most significant pictorial stages of artist The presentation event will be attended by the curator of the exhibition Joan Gil and several members of the Maragall family, such as the artist himself or his brother Ernest Maragall, among others.
Always with suspended sails, title taken from the poem Excelsior by the renowned poet Joan Maragall, is an exhibition that collects the most relevant life and artistic moments of the painter Jordi Maragall. With the Romanesque style as a point of reference, the exhibition is a display of gestural expressions and chromatic intensity, in which you can also see references to Georges Rouault and Giorgio Morandi, painters admired by the Catalan creator. With simple resources and materials, his compositions have been deriving from vaporous treatment to energetic brushstrokes of intense colors and a disturbing force, combined with works of extreme lightness, which alternate with symbolic forms and more magmatic paintings. All together, it reflects the various stages of Maragall's pictorial life, which has been a coming and going that has always obeyed his vital needs, perceptions and feelings. A work that shows his inner experience, from where the painter has brought forth his overflowing and passionate expressiveness, and in which art and life have been understood as an indissoluble whole, marked by oppositions: order and disorder , stillness and agitation, gesture and construction, emotionality and meditation.
With the aim of recognizing his work and a lifetime devoted to art, the Lluís Coromina Foundation presents this new exhibition at the Isern Dalmau Space, in which the painter Jordi Maragall is the protagonist. The exhibition can be visited until March 4.
