This years art route around the village of Castelló d´Empurias in Northern Catalonia was a great success! There were 78 artists exhibiting in 20 spaces all around the medieval village. Bruno was in the center of the main square sharing a space with the British artist N. Staniforth (www.sirrensculpture.com) and painter Jose Cabello Ruiz. The weather was perfect and visitors plentiful and the level of the art was high as always. Big thank you to Castelló council and Anna Maria Constanseu for all their hard work.

Expo in Madrid

Bruno is busy working on new pieces for his upcoming exhibition in Madrid later this month. The exhibition is part of a scheme by the artist, radio presenter and activist Guillem Farias. He has spent the last two years finding seven places in Madrid for artists from the Emporda to exhibit it. All of the sites are special in terms of the clientele they attract and their situation and architectural interest. Over the next year there will be six exhibitions including artists such as David Anson, Tomás Pons, Adriá Ciurana, Natalie Staniforth, Narsis Costa and of course Guillem himself.

Bruno´s work will be shown for the next two months, (8th July- 8th September) in the internationally renowned hair salon “Juan. por Dios!” It is an enormous space with five meter high ceilings and huge wooden support beams. Bruno has made chosen three large scale sculptures in wood, (one made specially for this site) and three new painting to go to Madrid.

Ruta D´Art 2010

nat — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 08:37:59 +0000

This years Ruta d´Art in Castelló d´Empurias was made more dramatic by downpours, flood warnings and roads resembling rivers all around the region. Undeterred we braved the elements for an inspiring exhibition. There were 72 artists in 21 buildings, all of some architectural or historical importance. Bruno was exhibiting in Palau Macel·li along with Natalie Staniforth and Juanjo Viñuela. This building was a hostel for the knights who protected the Cathdral and is now a hotel and restaurant. Amongst the artists showing were some famous names, and some names who surely will be one day! We were very happy to exhibit alongside Narcis Costa who recently put his landmark sculpture on to the sea front in Roses. For a full list of names go to www.rutadelart.com to see everyone from Anson to Zijara, all well worth a look.

To see more examples of Bruno´s new pieces look to recent work on the gallery pages or in wood. I´m sure you will agree he is going from strength to strength and his is a name to watch in this, and many other exhibitions.
