SCULPTURE resin JUAN GARCIA RIPOLLES

Juan García Ripollés, from Castellón born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932, the death of his mother in childbirth took him to the capital of La Plana. The beginning of his life was not easy: he picked up horse dung, he was a junkyard and a painter, until he left for Paris in 1954. He wanted to be a painter. And that's where he succeeded. Four years after his arrival, he hung his paintings in the prestigious gallery Drouand David, the same one that had exposed Picasso and Chagall. Since his return to Spain, in the sixties, his workshop is nature. Today, at 80 years old, it is still like that: he paints in the garden of his house in the small hamlet of Mas de Flors, in Castellón. During the last five decades, his canvases and prints have been shown in the best galleries and museums in Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo or Beijing. His large-format sculptures have been installed in the parks and main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch or Beijing.
