The Galería Van der Voort opens an exhibition by this innovative
Catalan artist
Miquel Mont, an artist from Barcelona born in 1963 and who has lived
for 14 years in Paris, is presenting this Friday in the Galería
Van der Voort his first individual exhibition on Eivissa. The exhibition
will remain open until the end of next month.
Mont is an innovative painter who opens new possibilities freeing painting
from canvas and searching for new supports. He changes the brushwork for
a dense layer of painting and, on reducing the painting to an object, separating
it from its traditional icon function. His work is carried out in a series
and in the exhibition in Eivissa one can see different works that show
different stages. In the Murals, for example, he paints on a wall, while
in the Walled Paintings, he hides the painted surface between thick walls
or boards.
What can be found about Miquel Mont on Internet? His stay in Paris is
reflected in that the best pages that speak about him are French. We can
find a web of the Galería Le Sous Sol, from the French capital,
with
special
section dedicated to him, where we can see his work and biography.
Also in the page
Drac
Ile de France a visit can be paid to examples of his work. This
year he has exhibited, amongst other places, in the
Galería
dels Àngels in Barcelona.
