From Madagascar to the Catalan farmhouse: the alchemy of two artists against the tide
Joël Andrianomearisoa and Josep Grau-Garriga never met. One was born in Antatanarivo and the other in Sant Cugat. Their work merges in a double exhibition as their work is revalued. «Grau-Garriga's work has a strong resonance with me because of the vision of the world it expresses. We share the importance of matter in the world and in the elements that surround us. There is in Grau-Garriga a perfect use of matter to represent moments, emotions, stories. This is what I try to translate day by day in my work».
