-Exhibition of the work of Ibizan painter Vicente Ferrer Guasch
“Els blancs” and “Sa Penya”, two simultaneous exhibitions which render homage to the painter Vicent Ferrer Guasch
The two exhibitions will be on display starting on Thursday 3 August in the hall of the Antiguo Refectorio at Eivissa Town Hall and in Es Polvorí hall in Dalt Vila.
The exhibitions “Els blancs” and “Sa Penya” deal with two themes featured in the work of Ferrer Guasch. At one location “the whites”, in the 18-piece exhibition in the hall of the Antiguo Refectorio at Eivissa Town Hall, and at the other, the quarter of Sa Penya, on exhibition in the hall Es Polvorí, where 30 paintings are up on display.
In the hall of the Antiguo Refectorio at Eivissa Town Hall, work done over a 30-year period of the painter’s life is being shown. In fact, paintings from the 1970s until 2000 can be seen and are the culmination of work in search of simplicity and the painter’s ability to synthesise.
At the Es Polvorí exhibition, “Sa Penya”, work devoted to the quarter has been put up. Thirty pieces of artwork with filled with colour, details and human figures. This exhibition includes a previously unseen piece from 1964, property of Palma City Hall, which received an award from the Círculo de Bellas Artes. The award marked the start of painter Vicent Ferrer Guasch’s career.
