Artist biography
Pere Gastó i Vilanova (1908-1997) is an artist who, even today, continues to leave no one indifferent. Beloved by a few and misunderstood by many, he is a special and, without a doubt, unique painter. Gastó was able to generate his own language based, mainly, on the deep study of the figure and the human psyche. His work evolved from realism toward personal formal codes that draw on Central European Expressionism and establish a magical, dreamlike—sometimes ghostly—connection with the depths of the human soul. His pictorial approaches revolve around the understanding of the dualities of man, of transcendent themes such as Beauty, Death, Dream, or the transformation of everyday reality.
