Eduard Bigas
Biography
Eduard Bigas was born in Palafrugell ( Girona ) , Spain , and
participated in his first solo exhibition at the age of nineteen . Since
then , he has painted prolifically and travelled extensively , soaking
in the rhythms of the world . He has been to Australia and New York ,
but is in love with his live in London . The complexity and cosmopolitan mixture of the city appeal to
him , and it is here that he has begin to paint with a great vital energy ,
often working on five or six canvasses at a time in ink and acrylic.
His painting is spontaneous , gestural and automatic , drawing information
from his inmediate feelings and thoughts and interweaving these various
threads into elegant , lyrical and dreamlike compositions which are concerned , above all , with a sense of balance . These strange and contrary figurations are often set against pure rich tonal back grounds
which lend his work a sense of serenity and cool.

About his work
Much in the manner of the novels of Milan Kundera , his painting evokes a series of ambiguosly intertwined narratives in which the attentive viewer discovers many different and apparently contrary subjective meanings existing in parallel. Taking London as his inmediate starting point , Bigas' new series rises and swells around the viewer , one work playing off its fellows in a maelsstrom of painterly activity , combining a spontaneous and automatic directness with an accomplished eye for balance , calling forth an eclectic medley of imagination and feeling.
Bigas' paintings , have a core of sense of valuation for simpliciyy , balance and beauty . Against a continual lightness , bizarre dreamlike forms , hues and colours weave and interact , suspended in a perpetual and distinct rhythm - or continual fall - either flying or picking their way across a featureless nothing.
