ALIAS ET ALIAS : The passionate union of two artistes « néo-baroques »
These artists/sculptors
have lived and worked in North Catalonia for more than 20 years.
Although they don’t like to be in the spotlight their
way of living and work doesn't go unnoticed. Deep reds and
ochres mix harmoniously on differents materials such as canvas
cardboard or wood, the aim being to depict their world, with style
and humour. The sculptures tackle only one theme "the
ego". It's hard not to recognise their signature in decorations,
a glass of wine at "le France" in Céret, a baguette
at "la Boulangerie" in LLupia, a hair cut at "Hair
Street" in Canet, a cocktail by the swimming pool in St Cyprien’s
camping "Cala Gogo" or simply a good dinner at "Le
Castell Embruixat" in St Hippolyte. Their work will great you
with warmth all the year round. These two artists are known
and appreciated beyond the Pyrenées, their exhibitions have
always recieved excellent press revues and appreciation from
the general public !
