Ripollés (1932) - Pareja

Engraving by Ripollés, hand-painted and signed on Arches paper, made in his workshop at Más de Flors Juan García Ripollés —known as Ripollés— was born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932. His mother's death during childbirth took him to Castellón La Plana. His early years were not easy: he picked up horse manure, worked as a scrapper and as a broad-brush painter, until he left for Paris in 1954. He wanted to be a painter. And it was there that he achieved it. Four years after his arrival, he managed to hang his paintings in the prestigious Drouand David gallery, the same that had exhibited Picasso and Chagall. Since his return to Spain, in the sixties, his workshop is nature. Today, at 92, it is still thus: he paints in the orchard of his country house in the small hamlet of Mas de Flors, in the province of Castellón. During the last five decades, his canvases and prints have been shown in the finest galleries and museums in Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo or Beijing. His large-format sculptures have been installed in the parks and in the main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch or Beijing.
