Josep Grau-Garriga (Sant Cugat, 1929 - Saint Mathurin Sur Loire -France-, 2011) studied at the School of Arts and Artistic Trades "Llotja" and at the Superior School of Fine Arts of Barcelona Painter by training, he worked in the field of mural painting and stained glass and came into contact with the world of tapestry, starting from the old Casa Aymat factory in Sant Cugat. It was he who introduced the renovation of the art of tapestry at the national level and did so from this manufacture and from the artistic section that he directed from 1957 to 1970. There the Catalan School of Tapestry was created and from there the renovation and new concepts would emerge of art in this discipline. In addition to his work in the field of textiles, his creations also lean towards pictorial work, creating a lot of collage and assemblage, where the fabric plays a prominent role. Since 1992 he lived in Saint Mathurin Sur Loire –Angers- (France). The French government awarded him the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts el des Lettres distinction and in 1985 he received the Creu de Sant Jordi distinction from the Generalitat of Catalonia. His works have been exhibited all over the world and are present in prominent museums and public and private collections of different museums and galleries in various cities around the world, mainly in Europe and the United States.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
