ISIDRE MANILS (Mollet del Vallés, Barcelona, 1948)."Finis".Diptych. Oil on canvas.Slight damage.Measurements: 190 x 130 cm; 191 x 131 cm (frame).Painter and teacher at the Massana school in Barcelona. Inexhaustible source of his own stylistic resources, Isidre Manils manipulates reality through glazes and transparencies, brushstrokes like layers of diffused light that light up the significance of his work. The search for "the cinematographic look of painting" is one of the constants of his long career and these links with the seventh art, so present in his production and which is evident in "Finis". His works open up to the filmic narrative, fragmentary and suggestive, unfolding a new and fertile creative horizon. In May 2022, the Fundació Vila Casas dedicated to him the exhibition "Fora de camp" at Can Framis (Barcelona), addressing different aspects of his career, interweaving points of convergence between the different supports on which his painting rests.
