Publisher's Synopsis
After two important exhibitions in 2022 at the Galerìa Álvaro Alcázar in Madrid with Proyecto para una isla and at the Galerìa Pelaires in Palma de Mallorca with De sal y ceniza, the artist, together with the curator and art critic Iván 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". - Iván de la Nuez
