Eduard Arranz-Bravo

He painted for sixty-five years, the last ten of them under the skylight of his Vallvidrera studio. Successió Arranz-Bravo, S.L. is the company of his two sons: it administers the legacy, authenticates, authorises reproductions, handles loans and maintains the catalogue of the complete work.

The whole catalogue

Detail of the studio skylight seen from below: the quadrangular glass opening set between the four sloping concrete planes, and a shaft of light sliding down the wall.

The quadrilateral is this opening

The studio Garcés · De Seta · Bonet completed in 2013 has not a single window. The four planes of the roof rise, meet, and where they meet they open: that opening is all the light that enters the room, and the work of the last ten years was made beneath it.

The mark of this house is not a shape chosen for how it looks. It is the plan of this opening.

Life

The biography told through the six studios where he worked, from the teenage still lifes to the late work.

Eduard Arranz-Bravo painting in the Vallvidrera studio, 2016: bent over the lower part of a large canvas — red ribbons on a white ground — following the black line with a fine brush. Red scarf at his neck; behind him, the concrete wall and works leaning against it.

News

Exhibitions, publications and loans made on behalf of the legacy.

Open-day at the sculpture studio, October 2017: a group of visitors around a white-bearded figure explaining, hands open, in front of the white column with the plaster head.

Two desk diaries, 2015 and 2016, side by side: the red one with the initials AB painted in black on the cover, the black one with the monogram painted in orange.
