Sense títol (Sans titre) . ca. 2000
By abandoning the classical approach to tapestry—which was still relevant for Jean Lurçat, one of the great reformers of his time—Josep Grau-Garriga revolutionized the genre. Thanks to him, tapestry, which was until then static, became dynamic, active even, since it was founded on movement. His experiments on new materials, relief, and textures allowed him to “capture and fix light in its most expressive modulations.” By basing his aesthetic on risk and accident, Grau-Garriga follows in the footsteps of the American Abstract Expressionists.
