GEOSENSITIVITIES

I was born in the city of Ibiza, 2 February 1950, and I graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. I was helping the North American artist Gordon Maca-relli. Later, I studied film at the School of Barcelona Independent Film (EixalĂ ). As a result of these studies I directed the documentary film of the time underground Catalan, with Francesc Juan Amen Romani 1/1970 / Amen RomanĂ 2/1970. and then I apply the film in the classroom, in fact, my first job was as a film teacher at the Institute Pau Vila of Sabadel (Catalonia). I was Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Eivissa (Ibiza) in 1976, with Rafel Tur Costa and Leopoldo Irriguible. I have been a teacher of drawing and Permanent Professor of Drawing at various institutes and especially the Tres Turons Institute of Arenys de Mar. Doctor of Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona with the thesis: Theoretical and practical contributions on versatility, modular development and location. As a result of the study of modular forms I made inroads into the field of sculpture, how Come for example, pink winds, commissioned by the Marina Boix. Some time ago I, as a teacher, the painting section of the Aula Cultural of the City of Arenys de Munt. Art is my passion, a passion that I want to return soon to develop the proper intensity.

Pere Planells study at a time of rest and contemplation

Reconnect with your sets of psychic forces in tackling a space expressive visual finally, it is not easy. It seems as if we wanted to focus the universe, your own universe in a rectangle. To make it a no choice but to use forms, colors or gestures as element of a mathematical formula that should give, once properly combined solution-satisfaction, but above all essential understanding of the world in which want to live. Obviously there are elements that you discerning superfluous as soon as they appear on stage that also becomes our rectangle-painting. Personally, I like to work with series of works, especially when working on paper, which usually imposes a framework could call matter, or thinking about what you take as a reference. Throughout this whole work there is also the part where you get lost, fortunately, that's the part that stops flowing shapes and intuitively where the accident first and mysterious stranger becomes more controlled later. Not everything is foreseeable, if not enter the field of constructive logic what I defined myself as a generative geometry, which also has aspects of indeterminacy. I called geosensibilitats this series because I have been using accidental phenomena similar to the geological nature serves as a basis of a signaling significant force, mixing it with those essential elements of geometry, more symbolic in this case . While I have developed this series came to my head spatial concepts of Lucio Fontana, not anything special. It was just that I relate concepts with the concept of space that I was going closer and increasingly defining. I was interested by the dynamic spaces where you could breathe when you consider that space itself was one of the main protagonists of these small works. Areas of harmony was what I was looking for. Simplicity, restraint of expression and also defining the minimum necessary for the harmonious chaos grab presence.

I searched the other hand, also using those items accidental shaped texture Solutions sensitive environments within each of the areas that was dividing the work intuitively. It is like going to pick a landscape containing voids and spaces with sufficient formal diversity within the group. The texture helps me, sometimes with gestures direct or residual gesture copied by contact. There are always surprises that enrich the process and filled with emotions. The residual stain intensity increasingly losing their successive projections footprints are becoming more distant. These tracks also incorporate a temporal symbolism, such as being related waste. On the issue of color deliberately start the series, I chose the drastic reduction of chromatic; only white, ocher and blue. It

Clearly, the dominant color is different in each of the works but the target has a dominant role, as if the whole binder. I feel again attracted by not only because white is the color that I still residually streets of my childhood seaside district of Sa Penya, Ibiza, but also and deliberately by the ratio of white light as a container for all the chrome and its large capacity, blinding ability of radiation. Before undertaking this series had been working on a project that I called last lover, a project also white, like light, was the star. At last I raised loving relationship with death, meditation on it. In the Tibetan Book of the Dead defines transit of living in the event of a death glare on intense chairs the traffic light towards liberation. Surely also speaks of the detachment transit issues superfluous is where I understand the role of binder assigned to white in this project. The earthy colors also have great responsibility to sensitize the space belonging to the constraints that limit our dreams and we propose to lower the level of daily life, our history and collective history or social. The blue is representing the uncertain horizon ...
