Guillem Nadal

Guillem Nadal’s work takes on a sculptural quality and his technique gives the appearance of raw materials. Nadal is fascinated by the secret codes that govern nature, and he expresses this fascination in his work. His pieces, teetering on the edge of shipwreck or failure, of coming to fruition or not, are not works about nature, but rather nature that falls upon the works. These creations are like bodies, their meaning woven through a circular journey that disregards an external narrative, where nature appears as a mirror.

“It’s unlikely that words will ever replace images, which is why it’s also improbable that “explaining” my work will make sense. There are too many gaps to fill and too many empty words. I believe that trying to decipher some of nature’s codes—chaos—while being so close to the acts of unconsciousness and brutality of the self-proclaimed sapiens is quite a long journey.”
