JORDI ALCARAZ I TARRADAS (Calella, Barcelona, 1963). "Bufador", 2007. Plaster sculpture and methacrylate urn, H.C. copy. Signed and justified. Size: 36 x 17 x 17 cm. In "Bufador (Blower)" Alcaraz converts glass into mouldable material: he modifies this material at high temperatures and makes us believe that it has been deformed by the blowing of the sculptural head in captivity. Jordi Alcaraz began his artistic career in the field of sculpture and engraving. He graduated from the Taller de Músics in Barcelona and is a great fan of the plastic arts. He is self-taught in painting, writing and photography. In 2010 he started his project @ para4gatos (on social networks), based on photography, editing exclusively with mobile device applications. During this period he has made around 2000 visual metaphors, and counting. With an ironic tone, he invites the viewer to observation and reflection, to discover the poetry hidden within the most common objects, subjecting them to slight transformations and altering their function, context and habitual uses. During this period he has carried out commissions for major brands such as Schwarzkopf Professional, Harley Davidson and El Terrat de Producciones. His work has been exhibited in galleries in Pamplona, Lisbon, Bilbao and Barcelona. His musical training has led him to work for different groups of the Barcelona music scene such as Zulu 9:30, Pablo Selnik Cuarteto, Eufuria, Sexteto Guardiola, etc .... He currently collaborates with "El Periódico de Cataluña" taking different photographs, always with a poetic tone, about national current affairs. Mayka Navarro, a Barcelona journalist with a long career, defined his work very aptly: "Each image of this virtual photographer from Barcelona is an accurate punch to the senses. Jordi Alcaraz reconverts reality into committed messages that come to life and move us. Everyday objects are transformed into animated information capsules that concentrate so much intensity that sometimes it seems as if they are alive and will come running out at any moment. Since its beginnings, throughout these twenty-five years of activity, he has held numerous solo and group exhibitions in Spain, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Canada and Switzerland, and has been present at some of the most important fairs on the international contemporary art circuit (Arco, Art Basel, Art Frankfurt, Art Cologne, Art Chicago, Art Miami and Arte Lisboa, among others). He is currently represented at the Centre Cultural Contemporani Pelaires in Palma de Mallorca, as well as in various private collections around the world.

JOSEP ROCA SASTRE (Terrassa, 1928 - Barcelona, 1997). "From Lucas Cranach", 1953. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Signed, titled and dated on the back. With Oriol Galeria d'Art label on the back. Measurements: 100 x 80 cm; 105 x 86 cm (frame). The one now being auctioned is an early work of the painter Josep Roca Sastre, corresponding to a stage prior to the realization of his intimate interior scenes. The canvas is a metaphysical version of the work "The Three Graces" by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a panel painted by the master in 1531 and now kept in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Trained in Barcelona, in the sixties Roca began to develop a personal, independent style and created his own language. His proposal focused on recovering the look of the close and the everyday, the familiar. He exhibited for forty years in the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and also showed his work in other Spanish cities, as well as in the United States. In 1966 he was awarded the Sant Jordi prize by the Diputació de Barcelona, and two years later the medal of honor at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris. In 1980 he became a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi, and in 1993 he was awarded the Quadern Prize of the Fundació Amics de les Arts i de les Lletres de Sabadell. Roca Sastre developed a figurative style of intimate themes, applying a personal and subjective look to his interior scenes as well as to his urban and natural landscapes. Since his death, retrospectives of Josep Roca's work have been held at La Pedrera and the Muncunill (Terrassa), Oriol (Barcelona) and Juan Oliver Maneu (Palma de Mallorca) galleries. His work is preserved in the National Museum of Art of Catalonia.
