About this Item

Hardcover. After two important exhibitions in 2022 at the Galeria Alvaro Alcazar in Madrid with Proyecto para una isla and at the Galeria Pelaires in Palma de Mallorca with De sal y ceniza, the artist, together with the curator and art critic Ivan de la Nuez, has developed this editorial project which brings together the latest series of Nadal's work. Guillem Nadal manages to make his paintings take on the consistency of sculpture and his painting takes on the appearance of raw material; mixed pieces that speak of islands, skulls and shipwrecks, creating a system of signs, an art of survival in which he makes use of the utensils that nature lends him. Pieces that are on the borderline of shipwreck or failure, whether they are carried out or not, but which at the same time have their own identity. This is the language of this contemplative, visceral and violent art. This art that doesn't want nature to convince us, but to conquer us. Ivan de la Nuez AUTHORS: Guillem Nadal (Mallorca, 1957) has participated in group and solo exhibitions all over the world, as well as in many international contemporary art fairs. His work is present in numerous private collections and museums such as the Musee d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain in Nice, the Musee Cantonal des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne, the MACBA in Barcelona, among others.

About this title

Synopsis

Textural compositions evoke desert island-like landscapes, where art becomes a primitive form of survival

This project brings together the latest work by Spanish artist Guillem Nadal (born 1957). Nadal’s paintings take on the consistency of sculpture and the appearance of raw material. The motifs of islands, skulls and shipwrecks create a system of signs and an art practice reminiscent of desperate survival.
