JOSEP MOSCARDÓ (Barcelona, 1953). "Marina". Iron sculpture on wooden base. Signed on the base. Measurements: 60 x 200cm. Josep Moscardó trained in Barcelona, at the Escola Superior de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi and La Lonja. He began his career in 1976, focusing from the beginning on landscape, which he considers his main source of inspiration. In his works he looks for corners where the architectural attraction is combined with a suggestive atmosphere, reflected through his personal chromaticism. He is also the author of sculptural works in iron, in which he also recreates Mediterranean scenes. Throughout his career he has received numerous prizes, such as the Catalan Postal Service Prize in 1972, the Santiago Barceló Prize in 1974, the Val d Or Prize in 1976 and the Valentí Prize in 1985, among others. He has exhibited his work individually both in Spain (Sala Vayreda, Sala Parés, Tavira gallery, and many others) and abroad (Serendipity and D.J. Lester galleries in Los Angeles). His presence abroad is remarkable in group exhibitions: "The new impressionists" (Brentwood Portfolio in Los Angeles and Art Expo in New York), I.G.I in Chicago, Art Asia in Hong Kong, David Messum gallery in London, Bankaku gallery in Nagoya and Art Box gallery in Tokyo. He is currently working with Sala Parés in Barcelona. In addition to painting and sculpture, Moscardó has devoted himself to graphic work, capturing different urban landscapes, especially emblematic ones, of cities such as Barcelona and New York.
