SPAIN POSTCARD (2022) Digital Arts by Josep Domènech

Sabadell, 1949 Very early in his career he already used alternative media and participated in the Catalan Conceptual Art movement. With Josefina Miralles and Benet Ferrer, among others, he formed the core of this movement in Sabadell. His work was shown at the first and second exhibitions of young artists in Granollers (Mostra d’Art Jove) held in 1971 and 1972 . In1972 he exhibited the serie “Naturaleses” at the Sala Vinçon, Barcelona, and the following year at Sala Tres, Sabadell. He has always been interested in symbols and some elements of popular culture. With Jordi Pablo and Josefina Miralles he worked on the exhibition “Valors del Costumari Català a les arts plàstiques” (Richness of Catalan Customs in the Arts), a travelling exhibition in Catalonia (1976). In 1976 his work was shown in the exhibition “Objecte”, the first anthology of Catalan Object Art, at the Joan Miró Foundation and at the postal art exhibition organized by Metrònom (1981). During the eighties he continued working on the idea of the object and the igious symbolism and ritual within a “bizarre” aesthetic that is difficult to classify. [Excerpted from "Ideas y Actitudes.
