1983 - Madrid

 

In 1983 I had an exhibition at the Torres Bague Gallery in Madrid. During that time I lived in Madrid and I am always carrying paper and drawing utensils with me. Whenever the gallery was closed or at hours when I thought there was no possibility of any visit, I decided to tour different spaces in the city and others outside Madrid to make a series of drawings based on Chinese ink on paper. A couple have a few touches of watercolor. The work was done with a fountain pen. With quick movements of the hand, it is possible to produce visual vibrations. These drawings are made directly in ink without using the pencil to mark or start the work.
