Opening of a Captivating Exhibition
On Friday, November 8, the La Catedral art gallery opened its doors to an exhibition that promised to thrill attendees: the Jaume Queralt exhibition. This artist from Tarragona, with a career of more than five decades, is a name recognized both nationally and internationally, and his work has been exhibited in numerous spaces around the world.
A Variety of Styles and Techniques
The exhibition has a total of 27 pieces, each one of them unique, covering different dimensions and techniques, including oil, pastel and collage. Queralt fuses the impressionist figurative style, which characterizes him, with touches of expressionism that, in some works, approach abstraction. This artistic evolution reflects his constant process of research and personal growth.
High Expectations
Queralt’s exhibitions are always an event that attracts the attention of the public, and the inauguration of this one was no exception. Attendees described the show as ‘extraordinary’ and ‘spectacular’, with the hope that the works, which range from the most classic to the most innovative, will maintain the high level that viewers have come to expect.
An Art that Connects with the Spectator
Born in Tarragona in 1949, Queralt showed an inclination towards drawing and painting from a young age. His artistic training began at the age of five and was consolidated with his professional career that began in 1972. His work not only reflects his personal concerns, but also provokes deep reflection in the viewers, inviting them to explore emotions and human essence.
An Artistic Legacy
With a wide repertoire of techniques that include, in addition to the aforementioned, watercolor, clay, bronze, and etching, Queralt has established a distinctive style that combines figurativeness with an exceptional skill in the use of color and perspective. His work is a reflection of his dedication and passion for the world of art.
A Space for Catalan Art
In addition to Jaume Queralt’s unique exhibition, La Catedral gallery offers a cultural area where visitors can enjoy works by masters of Catalan painting who marked the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. This combination of past and present makes the gallery a place of interest not only for art lovers, but also for those looking to delve deeper into the cultural history of Catalonia.
