Press Release

Bruno Ollé presents, for the first time in our Turó Park seat, “Quan els arbres perden les fulles” (“When the trees lose their leaves”). This project materializes as a continuation of his last project “Com un teló suspès sobre la branca d’un arbre” (“Like a curtain suspended over a tree branch”), presented in Spring 2024 in the Can Manyé center of Alella.

As we read the titles of both projects, we imagine a first artwork, that may or may not coincide with what we will actually find on the exposition. This game between the imaginary and real life establishes the starting point.

The development of this exposition starts with compulsively carried out drawings, where images repeat constantly. The curtain appears recurrently as a line separating “reality-public” from “fiction-scene”, a dichotomy between interior and exterior.

Bruno Ollé’s work is characterized by its modular construction, in which each piece fits with the rest. In an intuitive way, almost automatic, the artist slowly assembles what will become the final image: solid blocks of color that oscillate between painting and sculpture, creating more complex forms when united. In short, Ollé, navigating between one side of the curtain and the other, invites us once again to reflect on where the limits between painting and sculpture, between the public and the scenery, begin and finish.
