interviews: arnal |
|
To speak with Arnal, it represents for my a pleasure. I feel that he makes me vibrate the feelings, he full me with ideas and thoughts, always that optic new and different, a crushing logic an exceptional simplicity. If he had to define him I could say that he's a sculptor, painter, ceramist or philosopher..... I could say many things and all would fit. I don't like define anybody, but before him I am certainly in front of a person in the more wide sense of the word, and this definition that all him includes, it's right. Arnal was born in Palamós in the 1946, he is technician/real estate that allows me a security, with those family responsibilities, he remarks. Versatile person (craftsmaster) fine arts drawing, painting, design, sculpture, ceramic, burdened, it photographs, etc. with artistic works in GIRONA, BCN, MANISES, FAENZA, GENEVE, FRANKFURT, PARIS, OHIO, NY, TOKYO, LONDON, OSLO AND MILAN. And in any simple village, it doesn't matter the city? The vital thing is the human relationship!. Lover of the nature he show us his ecological container, What is and Why? a humble contribution intent, a call to the responsibility of the makers, so that they investigate a new container type, that it destroys himself for climatologically action in a prudential time. This way the non educated consumer that leaves everything where he likes, he won't make feel collective shame, for the people that goes after him. The nature will thank it to us, and the generation that comes after us and contemplates this demands it to us. |

Contemplating the “study of the feminine expression”, a series of 4 sculptures with woman's body, I think that importance can to have the woman in their artistic activity... the woman, as mother, sister, lover, friend, handcuffs, or daughter, she has been, she is and she will be muse of inspiration, for the artist leaving of this concept, she motivates different states of courage that they stimulate to capture a gestate, you can check it in the music, literature, painting sculpture, etc. the history confirms it to us. The ceramist is sculptor of their thought, modeling the mud; the feeling. This strong desire of caress form and life to be able to give you, with the hands in your interior sublime sensation, mystery creator. But that importance has in the work the material employee? Iron, plaster, stone, polyester, wood, glass, paper, brass stainless steel, gold, silver, clay, etc. All the materials have their own language, and the piece is right when the balance between the form, the color and the material that gives him support. |

Arnal cannot separate the art of his own life or any activity, the same one and their sense is an inseparable unit: the art is freedom, balance, realization, illusion, an intent to show the thing that captures the sensibility and the necessity to share it, subtle the human relationship. What is the life for you? something so complex as indescribable, in scientific terms, a mysterious/complex, amalgam of atoms. The thing that is palpable and basing us on the information accumulated until today that the humans since we acquire conscience, we have necessity to find answer to the reason? of the life, and this is very positive, because it stimulates and it channels our thoughts and activities, archaeology, physics, chemistry, cosmology, genetics, etc. This means investigation, millions of people and resources, after the answer of the mysterious query?.... after the life. WHAT? among mortal points RICHARD WAGNER, before dying said, I have the wonderful sensation that something fantastic it goes begin..... in the last instants something is sensed sublime.... Results of a received education? IF!.. all the civilizations have asked it to himself, only we have to review the history to see the GREAT ANSWER for TOMORROW. |

You are a calm man and I admire you, I comment him sometimes that I think it is not part of their personality, it has been fruit of a long one abstraction of the daily thing for that reason I ask him that it means for him the word “estres”, the interpretation could be hurry, nervous, anguish, and he qualifies the absurd life very well and competition the industrial society. To triumph, money, fame, comfort, as values, to end up finally, tired and holes and the life to lose sense, to appeal to tranquilizers drugs, stimulants, because the body doesn't admit it. Depressions and psychiatrists, do we live this way? MADNESS perhaps the sculpture that more explains this synthesis process and abstraction that makes Arnal is “the industrial man”, result of a logical coherent simple but with their vision in the way that we live. The function make the form, (basic law of the nature) the industrial man lives in a way that gives him a posture, a morphology; developed stomach: excess of fatty and little sport, tired of so much fight: something of hump; the anonymity: a face without expression, and this way, different data that gathered they co-form a sculpture in a position average gestalt...... I don't seek anything, such an alone one a humble reflection intent, in front of the trap to the one that we are exposed the technique us it has enslaved and dehumanized. I don't have time; no I have; no; it is the background song. |

After speaking widely of the “industrial man”, I finally had the sculpture in my hands, I already knew it. The thing that impress me it was the material and the color, GRAY recycled metal. Suddenly I felt the sensation of being sustaining THE SYMBOL of our society AND DEPRESSED ME; I thought that we follow a road that won't drive us in fact to a world but humanized. Which it is your road and your objectives? My road is that an individually carried out being and happy the whiles in the study/shop, but impotent, before the human madness of seeing daily as the humans, we confront of an irrational way, and some investments brutal, trying to impose a system of life, or to give the same for a line in a frontier so many necessities vital that there is! As big as it is the universe!... you request me for my objectives; from the moment I am convinced, that in the life each one is responsible for their environment, I offer that in the same one there is friendship, love, happiness, music, color, aesthetics, humanity, and to capture it, then it isn't my objective, it's a form of understand the life and to share it. |

Meanwhile, I try to contribute with my grain of sand, like a lot of people do, with more effort and surrenders, in a humble one and honest intent of contributing with something to the community believing that it will be more deigns and jousts. I would be happy to arrive to the age to savor that lived and to check that the life has been an pleasant experience, and to be able to thank the heat and company intensely of those that gave me the life, those that shared it and those that they continue. We could continue speaking, of architecture, graphology, music, philosophy, history of the art that is their passion, but clear the time he has their dimension and... heart thank you, sincerely for to share some minutes of reflection and feelings. And like says the song friends forever. This is the way of our interviewee, a person frankly, restless and utopian, but one that a while ago that he enjoys of their friendship, he thanks and he suggests you never change! Friends forever. |
