Ivan Forcadell

Influenced by the avant-garde movements of modern art, Iván Forcadell (Alcanar, 1993) is a multidisciplinary artist who produces from authenticity and expressionism to create a body of work that refers to his true self, his roots and his vision. The artist intertwines stories from his childhood in the countryside, folklore and irony, approaching these issues with harmony and ease; his characteristic fresh and colourful style is a strong position in favour of the ability of art to impress and a call for the constant reinvention of the artist for whom the relationship with his work is the fundamental pillar of his production. Forcadell finds the importance of nature and human relationships, and how these relate to his own life, the basis of his works. For him, honesty in his series is as important as originality, carrying out a constant investigation of new techniques and materials while introducing elements of proximity and found objects into his compositions.

Forcadell graduated in Design from the EINA University of Barcelona and has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions, including: “Flux Cutting”, Foco Gallery, Lisbon (2019), “The Beginning of the Second Act”, Lluís Coromina Foundation, Barcelona (2019), “Primavera de Escayola”, Casa de Indias Art Center, El Puerto de Santa Maria (2020) and “A Kiss, a Spider and a Flower (Letters to LB)”, Random Space, Mahón (2021). The artist's work has been included in renowned press such as: Harper's Bazaar, El País ICON, Vogue Spain, El Mundo or Architectural Digest Spain, among others.
