Dear friends,
We invite you to the opening of the exhibition 6 of 9 of the ART-TRA Group. The exhibition brings together the graphic work of six of the nine artists who are part of this group.
The members of the ART-TRA group have known each other for a long time, exchange experiences and collaborate with each other while presenting a long trajectory of joint thematic exhibitions. In the specific case of this exhibition, the point where the six artists converge is their work as printmakers, with the own trajectory of each one and the diversity of paths, styles and techniques that derive from them.
Neus Aller, Bruix.net, Jordi Cerdà, Marta Moncada, Adelaida Murillo and Martí Rom present an example of their original graphic work, which includes a compilation of different views and technical practice through different languages and materials: collagraph, aquatint,...

"Tinta Invisible articulates all these contributions and compiles them into series, editions, and boxes. Inventing portfolios and containers, exhibition stands and structures to contain and protect, that invite discovery and wonder. Their inventiveness is absolute, and it’s hard no to think of the illustrious precedent of Joseph Cornell and his poetic boxes, that Marcel Duchamp converted into his essential Boîtes-en-valise that contained a whole range of artistic registers, that not only treasured but also created a narrative, defining the whole of Duchamp’s...
