"Interior"

from Thursday, January 21, 2016 to Saturday, March 26, 2016

Galerie XII Paris

Interior is the first major retrospective of Taulé's body of work. Curated by Juan Manuel Bonet in three exhibition spaces: Paris Cervantes Institute, Galerie XII Paris and Galerie BOA.

Antoni Taulé is a painter born on August 25, 1945 in Sabadell, Catalonia. Architect by training, performer and street artist during the Sixties, his art has been labelled as a representative of the “new figurative” movement. He paints classical empty buildings and interiors: ballrooms, office receptions, halls of the Louvre museum, chambers of the Prado, the Palace of Versailles, monumental spaces that fuse reality and fiction under a fleeting atmosphere of light. His unique creative universe mixes scientific and mathematical concepts and a passion for art from the past, Italian, Dutch and Spanish old masters, especially Diego Velázquez and Francisco Goya. It has inspired numbers of writers and critics, like Jean-Christophe Bailly or Julio Cortázar who were fascinated by Taulé’s rooms and tables.
