AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ripollés' engraving, made on Arches paper in his Mas de Flors workshop, hand-painted and signed, no two are alike.
Juan García Ripollés —known as Ripollés— was born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932. His mother's death during childbirth led him to Castellón de la Plana.
His early years were not easy: he collected horse manure, worked as a scrap dealer, and was a rough-brush painter, until he moved to Paris in 1954. He wanted to be a painter. And that is where he made it.
Four years after his arrival, he managed to hang his paintings in the prestigious Drouant David gallery, the same one that had exhibited Picasso and Chagall.
Since his return to Spain in the 1960s, his studio has been nature.
Today, at 92, it still is: he paints in the orchard of his manor house in the small hamlet of Mas de Flors, in the province of Castellón.
Over the last five decades, his canvases and prints have been shown in the finest galleries and museums of Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo, or Beijing.
His large-format sculptures have been installed in parks and in the main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch, or Beijing.
