Description
Juan Ripollés’ world is compelling, immersed in that joyful Spanish tradition where light and colour perform like actors in the sinuous movements of dance. This painter and sculptor, throughout his artistic journey, has remained faithful to the theme of his Spain, of its characters – faithful to that world which is elegant, severe and motionless in time, to the rituals of its feasts and of its customs.
Here, Ripollés introduces us to El Rey, the king, holding his heart (or the people’s heart) in his hands, with a friendly and whimsical face and finger pointed ready to dictate his next decree.
