Eulàlia Llopart: rewriting history

The Pere Pruna Civic Center hosts the exhibition 'Re-Escriure la história' by the artist Eulàlia Llopart , winner of the fifth edition of the Tat Vilà Painting Prize , awarded by the Traç art center. This exhibition places the matrices as protagonists, reviewing the historical narrative and recognizing the generating force of women, their power to be the origin and engine of change.

Eulàlia Llopart is a plastic and visual artist who combines her artistic practice with teaching at the Municipal School of Art and Design of La Garriga. Graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona, she specialized in sculpture and engraving. Her work focuses on themes that revolve around ecology, feminism and creative processes. She has been awarded several prizes, such as the Centelles Painting Prize and the second prize for engraving at the Joan Vilanova in Manresa, and has exhibited in both Catalonia and Andorra.

In this exhibition, which will be on view from February 13 to March 15, Llopart presents a selection of paintings, sculptures with alabaster and paper, and photographs that revolve around the concept of the matrix as a generator of creation and life. His works, often large in size, are characterized by the use of the color red and a network of filaments that bring dynamism to the composition. His technique of working with woodcut plates stands out, which he rarely prints, considering them as definitive works.

In addition to the paintings, the exhibition includes the video (Re)nacer and the paper sculpture Ser matriu. In the video, the artist is filmed in the middle of a field, inside a nest, in a fetal position, evoking the cycle of the seasons and the birth of life. The sculpture, made of various handmade papers painted red, recalls the shape of a uterus, reinforcing the metaphor of the matrix as a space of creation.
