Description from the seller
Engraving by Ripollés, hand-painted and signed, made in the Más de Flors workshop on Arches paper
Juan García Ripollés —known as Ripollés—, was born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932. The death of his mother in childbirth took him to Castellón La Plana. His early years were not easy: he gathered horse manure, he was a scrap dealer and a broad-brush painter, until he left for Paris in 1954. He wanted to be a painter. And there he achieved it.
Four years after his arrival, he managed to hang his paintings in the prestigious Drouand David gallery, the same that had exhibited Picasso and Chagall.
Since his return to Spain, in the sixties, his workshop is nature.
Today, at 92 years old, it still is: he paints in the orchard of his manor in the small hamlet of Mas de Flors, in the province of Castellón.
During the last five decades, his canvases and prints have been shown in the best 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.
