JAVIER MARISCAL (Almazora, Castellón, 1950). Palo Alto, Barcelona. May 2006. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the right margin; signed, located and dated on the back. Provenance; Private collection Measurements: 180 x 160 cm. The mastery of Javier Mariscal to compose animated scenes, crowds lit by the magic of the night, has no competitors. With a carefree style he arranges the characters in this canvas in an apparently random way, but under the apparent chaos of spotlights, toasts, smiles, bodies and tables there is a compositional rigor that is the result of genuine gifts. Mariscal drinks from comics, but transforms the cartoon into a sociological and plastic incursion. We recognize his signature in each of his characters, those synthetic faces and some of them slightly dog-like, reminiscent of one of the most famous mascots of the last decades. A renowned industrial designer, cartoonist and comic artist, Javier Mariscal has lived and worked in Barcelona since 1970. He studied design at the Elisava School in Barcelona, but soon abandoned his studies to learn directly from his surroundings and follow his own creative impulses. He began his career in the world of underground comics in publications such as "El Rrollo Enmascarado" or "Star", along with Farry, Nazario and Pepichek. After making his first own comics in the mid-seventies, in 1979 he designed the Bar Cel Ona logo, a work for which he began to be known by the general public. The following year the Dúplex opened in Valencia, the first bar signed by Mariscal, together with Fernando Salas, for which he designed one of his most famous pieces, the Dúplex stool, a true icon of design in the eighties both inside and outside our borders. In 1981 his work as a furniture designer led him to participate in the exhibition of the Memphis Group in Milan. In 1987 he exhibited at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris and participated in the Documenta in Kassel. Two years later his design Cobi is chosen as the mascot for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, controversial at first but now recognized as the most profitable mascot in the history of the modern Games. In 1989 he created Estudio Mariscal and collaborated on various projects with designers and architects such as Arata Isozaki, Alfredo Arribas, Fernando Salas, Fernando Amat and Pepe Cortés. Among his most outstanding works are the visual identities for the Swedish Socialist Party, the Onda Cero radio station, the Barcelona Zoo, the University of Valencia, the Lighthouse design and architecture center in Glasgow, the GranShip cultural center in Japan, and the London post-production company Framestore. In 1999 he received the National Design Prize, awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Industry and the BCD Foundation in recognition of his entire professional career.

ALCEU RIBEIRO (Artigas, Uruguay, 1919 - Palma de Mallorca, 2013). "Figura", 1992. Assemblage in painted wood. Signed, titled and dated on the back. Measurements: 46.5 x 23.5 cm. Painter, sculptor and muralist, Alceu Ribeiro trained with Joaquín Torres-García starting in 1939, thanks to a scholarship that allowed him to settle with his brother, also an artist, in Montevideo. He studied with the master for ten years, until his death in 1949, and during his student years his work was already recognized with several prizes at the National Salon of Montevideo, in 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943 and 1945. The following year, in 1946, he became known in Paris through the Muestra de Pintura Moderna Uruguaya held there. In 1949 he founded the workshop El Molino, which he converted into the center of Montevideo's intelligentsia, and that same year he carried out his first commission for mural painting for the Palacio de la Luz in the Uruguayan capital. Shortly afterwards, in 1953, he held his first individual exhibition at the Faculty of Architecture of the same city. He also continued to participate in official exhibitions with great success, and carried out important mural projects, both pictorial and sculptural. In 1962 he becomes a professor at the Universidad del Trabajo in Montevideo, and the following year he makes a long working trip to Europe, where he leaves after holding several exhibitions on tour in South America, among other places at the Zea Museum in Medellin (Colombia). In 1964 he returns to Montevideo, and three years later he holds his first solo exhibition in the United States, at the Mayfair Gallery in Washington D.C. From then on Ribeiro exhibited his work in museums and galleries in South America, the United States and Europe, finally settling in 1979 in Palma de Mallorca. He is currently represented in the National Museum of Fine Arts and the Juan Manuel Blanes Museum in Montevideo, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, the National Museum of São Paulo and other public and private collections in Europe and America.
