From the plate to paper
Josep Guinovart 4/11/2023 – 5/1/2024

His works, plastic expressions of fertile chromaticism, attached to the countryside and the earth, generate a poetic dialogue between suggestive signs and gestures.

He is considered one of the greatest representatives of informalism, a European pictorial movement born after World War II as an angry response to the values ​​of the dominant established society.

“The engraving is not a printed paper, it is a worked paper. The engraving is not an industrially reproduced impression, but a work made by the artist, numbered, signed, stamped, sometimes intervened, that is, a work with the direct participation of the artist in the entire process”
