LLUÍS CLARAMUNT (Barcelona, 1951 - Zarautz, Gipuzkoa, 2000) Untitled. Oil on canvas. Signed in the upper left area. Measurements: 100 x 84 cm; 101 x 85 cm (frame). Painter, draftsman, photographer and engraver of self-taught formation, Lluís Claramunt spent his life between Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Bilbao and Marrakesh, and developed a work influenced by Isidre Nonell and marked by an expressionism in its beginnings, which will gradually disappear until transforming into a minimal calligraphy. Since the seventies he held solo exhibitions in prominent galleries such as Dau al Set in Barcelona, Quatre Gats in Palma de Mallorca, Juana de Aizpuru in Seville or Buades in Madrid, and also participated in Arco (1984, 1988). He also had solo exhibitions in New York, Amsterdam, Graz (Austria) and Lisbon. Likewise, in 2012 his work was shown in the solo exhibition "El viatge vertical", held at the MACBA in Barcelona. He is currently represented in that museum, the Fundació Vila Casas, the La Caixa Collection, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Álava, the Asociación Colección de Arte Contemporáneo de Madrid, the Consejo Superior de Deportes and the Ministerio de Cultura in the same city and the Colección Caja Madrid. Recently Claramunt has exhibited at the prestigious gallery Marc Domenech in Barcelona, who dedicated his exhibition "Luis Claramunt. Años 80" entirely to the artist's work. The exhibition, held in May 2016, featured more than seventy works that demonstrated the artist's predilection for urban spaces, represented through a totally expressionistic palette in which a dynamic and vibrant palette predominates.
