Manel PEDROL The material by which he will express depth, shapes, shadow, light, colors used while working with tools but also with other instruments, its representations taking varied forms, stains, graffiti, rectangular shapes which are similar to closed spaces, walls, or closed shutters and which are recurring elements of his plastic vocabulary. Through the forms he creates, Manel PEDROL makes us discover a new world, new landscapes, interpretations of his states of mind which take on quite unexpected expressions that are always touching, and imbued with a very great sensitivity whose influence of his well-known friends remains very characteristic throughout his work. Creator of the collective movement "PINZELL BRUT" Born in TARRAGONA (Spain) in 1939, 1956-1960 Fine Arts of TARRAGONA and BARCELONA then 1961-62-63 School of Fine Arts of ARAU (SWITZERLAND) 1964: 1st Exhibition in PARIS at the Art Mostra, place YERTE He then met Antony TAPIES and Joan MIRO, who influenced him enormously, like Paul KLEE during his first surrealist period.
