Antoni Taulé will be featured in the Foundation’s upcoming exhibition

The work by renowned artist Antoni Taulé can be seen at the Stämpfli Foundation starting this upcoming January 20^th. Taulé will be presenting the show Lux, where he’ll be displaying a selection of his work.

Antoni Taulé is one of the most relevant figures in contemporary art today. Born in Sabadell in 1945, he lives and works in Paris. In 2016, he celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his first individual exhibition. Since then, his work has travelled to a long list of museums, galleries and cultural centers. In 1967, he had a show at the Maricel Palace in Sitges, while the artist was painting in the street. Taulé combines painting, photography and illustration. Recently, the prestigious French magazine Beaux Arts defined him as follows: “Magicien du vide, grand-prêtre du silence, laisse la lumière pénétrer l’obscurité de ces grandes demeures inhabitées […]”. (Magician of life, high priest of silence, he lets light penetrate the darkness of these great, uninhabited mansions […])”.

His work places the spectator in front of large, empty, shadowy architectural spaces, barely illuminated by an intense, dazzling, theatrical light, which penetrates thresholds. These are timeless stages, inhabited by isolated, lonely characters, immobilized halfway between dreams and wakefulness. The Antoni Taulé exhibition will be the Stämpfli Foundation’s eighth, following those by Erró, Cinetik ! (lumino-kinetic and op art with thirteen artists, mostly South American), Jacques Villegé, Miguel Chevalier, Jacques Monory, Peter Knapp and Peter Klasen.
