<\/strong> <\/strong> <\/strong> <\/em>Twenty-five years \u2014which we have celebrated at length\u2014 plus another year (which has gone by very quickly too) add up to the 26 Years<\/strong> that the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery<\/strong> complies with today For this great occasion, we also have a great painter: Llu\u00eds Roura<\/strong>, with his extraordinary exhibition titled “The four seasons”<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/strong> (in direct reference to his four large paintings that share together this same title). Josep M\u00aa Cadena<\/strong> has rightly pointed out: \u00abThe known landscapes are never-ending when they have been internalized and are carried inside us as real samples of creative identity\u00bb. <\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a> <\/strong> <\/strong>Ignasi Cabanas<\/strong>: \u00abWe are grateful to Llu\u00eds Roura<\/strong> for his presence among us: an extraordinary painter, Empord\u00e0\u2019s adoptive son. We now have the honour, and are fortunate enough to be able to celebrate our 26 Years<\/strong> with him. Believe me: to bring him here is something special, it has cost us tears, sweats, weeping, sleepless nights\u2026, it has been terrible, most terrible! And then, when he finally comes, he turns everything upside down. We allow it because there is only one Llu\u00eds Roura: he belongs to that group of artists that must remain as an example of his generation, of what all the great painters of this period have made\u2026 This has to be celebrated with our door wide open!\u00bb.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/a> <\/strong> <\/strong>Josep M\u00aa Cadena<\/strong>: \u00abGood afternoon to all and good afternoon to the Empord\u00e0! for they are fortunate to have Llu\u00eds Roura there\u00bb. Every day, when we get up, we shake up our sleep, we look ourselves in the mirror, and we say: \u2014This has to be fixed!<\/em> Well, I think that every morning the Empord\u00e0 gets up and says: \u2014This has to be fixed\u2026 because Llu\u00eds Roura is coming!<\/em> Why? We all have places of birth, of acquaintances… and then, we also have other places that are kept inside our imagination, inside our spirit, because we may have seen them sometime somewhere. Llu\u00eds Roura has this retentive which all painters must possess: he has been absorbed by the Empord\u00e0\u2026 and in his paintings we see that he has made it his own\u00bb.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> <\/strong> <\/strong>Llu\u00eds Roura<\/strong>: \u00abI thank the Cabanas family \u2014Vict\u00f2ria and Ignasi\u2014 for they have chosen me to celebrate this significant date: the 26 Years of this art gallery. I also want to make a “special” contribution: I have brought “The Four Seasons”<\/em><\/strong> to Sant Cugat… I also wish to thank Mr. Cadena for his wonderful presentation. He belongs in the last saga of art critics. I very much liked his writing for the catalog, because while he talks about the external aspect of landscapes, he also speaks a lot of the intimacy of the landscape soul, by linking it a little to the spirituality I live with and which I incorporate, thanks to my many trips to the Holy Land…\u00bb.<\/div>\n
\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a> <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>\u00abThe exhibition is based on “The Four Seasons”<\/em><\/strong>. Previously, Mr. Cadena was talking about things we do not value when we have them, such as health, which we praise only when it defaults. When I painted these paintings of the four seasons, I considered myself very old, but I now realize that I was only 35 years old, I was a child! I’m surprised at the strength and energy I had then. “The Four Seasons”<\/em><\/strong> was a kind of synthesis of the Empord\u00e0. In fact, I paint the four seasons all the year round. My job is to take the car, to make many kilometers and to set up my easel wherever I find the light… I get this energy through painting. And I am very pleased to have been able bring it here, to Sant Cugat\u00bb.<\/p>\n
