Tracking the work of the multifaceted Catalan artist Benet Rossell starting from his film projects and calligraphy. This exhibition of the work of Benet Rossell (Ager, 1937) concentrates on two strains of this multifaceted artist's vast production: his films and his calligraphies or micrographs. The show offers an interrupted, fragmented vision of his work, one that avoids the conventions of the chronological retrospective and provides several ways into a work constructed as an inter-crossing of languages and media. Though early on he studied law, economics and sociology, Benet Rossell soon took an interest in art. His work includes an array of disciplines, from drawing and signic writing, painting and the occasional tapestry or ceramic piece, to art action and performance, experimental and commercial film, poetry and theatre, and others. His approach to all of these languages is highly personal, and his unconventional production includes optical objects, work with crops, drawings and interventions on films, dibuixos amanits (oiled drawings), affidavits, wordless comic strips, film scripts and dibutext (drawing-texts), to name a few."
