Artist biography
He was born in Vic on January 30, 1914, and died in the same city on April 12, 1992.
He trained in his city, was a great draftsman, and his works were always created in the natural environment, in the heart of nature.
Artist, one of many whose youth was marred by the horrors of the 1936 war, did not exhibit his early paintings to the public until 1942.
His solo exhibitions begin at the Sala Busquets in Barcelona, years (1946, 47, 49). A few years later, he arrives in Madrid, with his first exhibition in 1955 at the Salón Dardo, directed by the astute critic Gil Fillol; then at a new exhibition space, Eureka, on Gran Via, where he exhibits during the years (1960-63-64-65-66-68). The last one, corresponding to 1969, is held by the painter at the very prestigious Salón Cano.
He has exhibited annually in Barcelona, at the Sala Pinacoteca (recently gone), as well as in Bilbao, Valencia, Vitoria, and, of course, in Vic, his hometown.
It is important to highlight the awards received at the National Exhibitions in Madrid. In 1950, he won a third medal for his work: 'Alamos y robles,' and at the Autumn Salon, another medal for the piece: 'Niebla en el bosque,' along with another accolade in 1951, with a first medal for the canvas: 'Lluvia invernal.'
Work
His oil painting has a sense of intense lyricism, with soft nacaradas and gray tones of sincere accents, avoiding excessive and lurid contrasts.
Your work needs several brushstrokes; therefore, it has thickness, good texture, applied according to its aesthetic sense and to refine effects.
It has been said that his style is a blend of honesty in representation, craftsmanship, and lyrical works, achieving softened grays and nacreous effects.
First of all, we have an attractive form of figurative art that, by the end of their days, naturally, masterfully, and with illusion, composes in their studio at Plaza de Vic.
Some titles of his paintings are a clear mirror of his aesthetic demands: "Winter Afternoon," "Woodland," "The Threshing of the Pyrenees," "Market Day," "Fog in the Cathedral of Vic," "Rain," "Boats on the Costa Brava," etc...
According to the Biographical Dictionary of Artists of Catalonia (1951), he had his works in the Museum of Modern Art of Barcelona, in numerous private collections, some in Wooster (USA), Havana (Cuba), and Buenos Aires (Argentina).
Bernandino de Pantorba, in his book 'The Catalan Landscape Painters,' describes Conill's work as always tending to depict aspects that are grayish, rainy, and cold, with a somewhat lyrical and melancholic tone. Trees, poplars, rivers, farmhouses, clouds, distances—everything in that painting of his is imbued with moisture.
From his native Vic, from his deeply loved countryside, the artist has achieved very characteristic, personal visions, and never without poetry. Very characteristic of his landscapes are the tall, bare poplar trees and the almost invisible drizzle falling upon them.
In Madrid, he was known as the painter of the fog (very difficult, by the way, to capture).
The deputy to the Parliament of Catalonia and the councilor of culture of the Hon. City Council of Vic said during a tribute exhibition for the artist in 1995. The painter from Vic, Jacinto Conill, has managed to more genuinely capture the contained lights of the plain of Vic. In his canvases, there is an infusion of mystery; the mists and transparencies he works with in his landscapes give a touch of personal lyricism.
A lifetime dedicated to painting and his love for the city. Surely his cherished memory will remain intact through his work.
