Barcelona’s Ignasi Aballí
Barcelona has been a fantastic destination for the savvy world traveler for a long time now, but recently has experienced a resurgence, where celebrities and the other rich and famous folk are discovering its capacity to entertain with gorgeous style. The unique contributions of the city are as magnificent today as they were 300 years ago, and it’s possible to discover a whole new way of thinking about fashion, design, and art while you’re here. It’s an extremely individual city, renowned for its ability to maintain an identity separate from the rest of Spain, of Europe, and even the world, and for these reasons, Barcelona boutique hotels are an ideal setting for any stay here.
Our hotels are selected for their individual style and attention to every detail, so that you are always reminded of the splendor of the city, and your place in it. You’ll relax in total luxury, enjoying a refreshing decadence that is a brilliant way to get to know the city. Sumptuously decorated rooms and elegant dining are just the beginning of the amenities here, helping you to begin every day in splendor, and fall asleep every night in elegance. When you’re out in Barcelona, chances are pretty high that you’ll be stunned by the visual splendor that’s surrounding you. The city is made for artists, and an artist’s touch seems to be on every edifice, and even in the dress of the locals. If you find yourself compelled to visit a gallery, then by all means follow the impulse. You may come across local artists as splendid as Ignasi Aballí.
This local artist was born in 1958, and started to achieve some recognition in the late 80s, but his latest works are attracting the attention of the global art market. He’s been showing all over the world, in galleries as prestigious as the Elba Benitez Galería, and his work of late is installation rather than painting. He seems to have the makings of a genius for this form, and his works play with memory and collecting, and his philosophical concerns tend toward blurring the distinctions between art and life. He plays with space as well as perception, and his installations sometimes include his own paintings in hyper-aware and hyper-ironic quotations of self, earning Aballí a reputation for playfulness, but with a deep existential longing that gives the work enormous weight and depth.
