\"1\"<\/a>Benet Sarsanedas!<\/strong> A kind man, a country man, in love with nature, whose face exudes goodness, veteran painter and very loved at the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery. All that is reflected in his paintings (he has brought the best of his work). Ignasi Cabanas praises him with warm words of appreciation.<\/p>\n

The current exhibition at the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery, since its very first moment, has had a big impact and it attracts the gaze irresistibly. In fact, thanks to its powerful colours, its remarkable texture and the movement of the landscapes the viewer has the feeling of having entered into nature that expresses the fullness of life and its purity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a>Mr. Josep M. Cadena<\/strong> confirms all that Ignasi has said. Cadena says that he knows this painter very well, since the years when they met in the legendary snack-bar called \u201cLa Punyalada\u201d (very famous in Barcelona). Cadena expresses our feeling when he says that, watching this exhibition, one feels that \u00aba gust of air is passing by\u2026 Benet is a painter of the forest\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/a>Sarsanedas is a soul of our country; he was born in Rupit (Vic). \u00abHe knows nature very well and he loves it for the things that happen in it, for its mobility. When one is watching his paintings then one has the sensation of leaves making noise, the grass moved by the air\u2026 They are active paintings: Benet\u2019s hand sets a moment, but they are moments that keep occurring. One detail, one example: in the sky \u2014which is smaller than the earth\u2014 we see clouds ascending\u2026\u00bb.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/a>The speech of Benet Sarsanedas<\/strong> \u2014a discreet man of few words\u2014 begins and finishes with his thanksgiving for our interest in his work. However Mr. Cabanas, on asking more questions, was able to get more explanations. \u2014You began as a carpenter. How did you arrive to art? \u2014I am not the first carpenter who paints! I realized that art is what dignifies more the man. For this reason I want to do art. Painting is not easy, it is like chess. It was a chance for me! I like it because it lets me ascend\u2026\u00bb. \u2014You are like an \u201cenlightened farmer\u201d, Cabanas said finally.<\/div>\n
\"5\"<\/a>The topic of the chess!<\/strong>: it isn\u2019t by chance. Here you have the true story: one day, Josep M. Cadena visited his friend Benet at his house, and met him in front of a chessboard. So, Cadena asked him: \u2014Are you waiting for anyone else? \u2014No, but I am playing it on the phone, Benet answered\u2026 Other questions of the attendees got longer explanations from Sarsanedas: about his painters of reference (many, above all some particular details of Goya, Vel\u00e1zquez\u2026); the amount of paintings he has drawn (many, because I have been painting for more than 50 years); the needed time in order to complete a picture (no one knows, for a picture is ended when someone carries it away!).<\/div>\n
