\nWith Dom\u00e8nech i S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>\u2019s exceptional work (Meditations<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/strong>), the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery flaunts of a figurative exhibition causing a peculiar fascination. In fact, from the exhibited paintings \u2014mostly representations of the feminine figure\u2014 it transpires a beautiful sensation of mystery: the pictures do go beyond the portrayal because we can recognize emotions in them. An outcome achieved thanks to a pictorial technique equally odd: Dom\u00e8nech i S\u00e1nchez<\/strong> neglects brushes to use rags with his paints\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Josep M\u00aa Cadena<\/strong>: \u00abDom\u00e8nech i S\u00e1nchez arrives from the\u00a0 crafty world, where art is a manifestation of utility: yes, craftsmen are the kind of people that in front of a table \u2014for instance\u2014, are capable of giving it a shine and a sense of realization. They make everything pleasant to the people living in that house. Josep has always dexterously worked with rags, not with brushes. Rags are unusual: people are not born thinking of rags\u2026 He seized what he knew from his own profession, which is like a manifestation of the “creation”\u00bb. That is: from the initial chaos and darkness, the spirit that “scrubs” and touches things with an unceasing resolve, generates light as soon as things assume their own essence. \u00abThis is what Dom\u00e8nech i S\u00e1nchez does\u00bb.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a> At the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery we have lived an afternoon with wonderful coincidences: Josep Dom\u00e8nech i S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, conscious that the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary, told us that he has come with great joy, for he is also celebrating his 25th<\/sup> anniversary as a painter. And another fact: at the beginning of his professional career he received a prize from the hands of our close friend Francesc Gal\u00ed<\/strong>, who was member of the International Association of Art Critics.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> Among the disquiet shown by the attendance, two questions were obvious: awareness of a puzzling and mysterious feeling in the figures that appear enfolded by a sort of mist, and, on the other hand, the rag technique. The artist\u2019s answer: \u00abBecause of my way of working, I apply paint to start with something quite dark. Afterwards, and influenced by the idea I want to achieve, I am removing the paint and discovering the light. Actually, the whites are the white of the canvas\u2026 And thus\u2026, until I let the viewer to fill in the “unfinished”. Once I was told: \u2014We would like you to exhibit along with us, but we want you to bring your paintings fully finished! And I replied: \u2014But they already are! \u00bb.<\/div>\n
\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\u00abThe idea of the rags somewhat started with the problem of the crisis. Imitating Van Gogh, I began by emptying a paint tube on the cloth. But, when my first daughter was born, I had to start saving money. Since I was a carpenter, I wondered what would happen if I would proceed as if I would be varnishing and staining furniture, that is, if I would use less paint dragging it with a rag. And what started as a way to save money ended the other way round: I must now use a lot of paint, with a very good pigmentation, by preparing the cloth with a lot of expensive pastes\u2026 But, end results have been very good\u00bb.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a> <\/strong>This is the moment of the raffle among the audience, at the inauguration, of Dom\u00e8nech i S\u00e1nchez\u2019s art note. However, the raffle is not the reason of the photograph, but introducing you to the new integration in the team of the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery<\/strong>: you can see here young Maite<\/strong> when she is announcing who was the fortunate winner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
