This book highlights the highly creative work of Barceló (b. 1957) with more than a dozen new paintings and a selection of recent ceramic objects. Born in Mallorca, Barceló’s mixed-media paintings, sculptures, and ceramics often feature relief-like textures and expressive forms. His fascination with the natural world has inspired his richly textured canvases that recall the earthly materiality of Catalan painters such as Antoni Tàpies and Joan Miró, as well as compositions that study the effects of light and the ever-changing colors of the sea. The book includes a selection of new paintings from the corrida series, depicting the circular space of the bullfighting ring in vibrant colors. His ceramic practice includes his distinctive forms molded by hand then painted in vivid colors. Excerpts from Barceló’s recent autobiography, De la vida mía (Of My Life), bring together his notebooks, paintings, photos, stories, and objects from the artist’s various studios.

El universo cinematográfico de uno de los directores de cine más aclamados de la historia, recientemente fallecido. Un recorrido completo y sin precedentes sobre la obra y la vida de uno de los creadores de culto más importantes de la historia. Nuestro mundo no sería lo mismo sin David Lynch, seguramente un lugar mucho menos especial e interesante. Como director, guionista, diseñador, músico, artista visual y artífice de las cosas más especiales, su influencia prevalece en cada rincón de nuestra cultura. Junto a su icónica Twin Peaks, Lynch también creó obras de arte en la gran pantalla como su debut con Cabeza borradora y thrillers poco convencionales como Terciopelo azul, Carretera perdida y Mulholland Drive. Pero Lynch también ha sido una figura de culto en otros ámbitos, firmando álbumes con su nombre, encabezando exposiciones de arte, exhibiciones fotográficas y shows de moda desde Los Ángeles hasta Milán, compartiendo su filosofía espiritual y su amor por la meditación trascendental alrededor de todo el mundo. Esta obra cubre todos los aspectos del complejo e iridescente mundo de Lynch, a la vez que explora sus influencias para explicar, sin dejar lugar a dudas, cómo trabajaba, creaba, pensaba y vivía su arte.

For most people, the search for a home involves setting a budget, finding a place, then filling rooms with stuff. But Kirsten Dirksen and Nicolás Boullosa believe the search for a home is a search for meaning, and that the right dwelling can set the direction for one’s life. Fifteen years ago, armed with a camera and limitless curiosity, they set out across the globe to prove their theory and to challenge traditional assumptions about what makes a home. Now that the past few years have completely altered the way we live and work, most of us are asking the same questions and seeking homes that reflect our lifestyles and values. The dozens of spaces featured in Life-Changing Homes urge readers to think differently about their own lives and what might be possible, and the gorgeous photography and thought-provoking writing share the inspiring stories of those who have made the change.
