People and circus, symphonic orchestras and musicians, where plasticity takes vitality and colors come into play. Artur Duch exhibition in Sitges. Do it in the area of Nicolás Art Gallery of Àngel Vidal. Sitges has coalesced perennially into a constellation of artists that goes back to the days of Bernat de Fonollar with Ferrer Bassa as the founding genius of a group of artists, painters and sculptors who have lived and worked in the Blanca Subur.
Artur Duch exhibited in the Miramar building in Sitges with a retrospective entitled Impermanencia, the eternal change of all things, organized by the Department of Culture with Mireia Pascual at the head of the proposal commissioned by Beli Artigas Coll. That was a recognition to a "legal" artist, who from his Sitges studio in Poble Sec has overcome the cyclical crises of the artistic, galeristic or commercial sector, which is increasingly weakened. For more than 40 years Artur Duch 's work has left his studio before the Hospital of San Juan Bautista to the art galleries of Lleida, Tarragona, Girona, Barcelona, ​​Huesca, Malaga, Madrid, Cuenca, Palma Mallorca, León, Burgos, Santander, Valencia, Castellón, Brighton and Brussels .
In Sitges Duch, he began public exhibitions at Galeria Nueva , a small place on Carrer Nou that Pierre Txetverikoff kept open, combining the sale of antiques with the exhibitions of the works of young promises such as Artur himself, in Lligades Pujadas , in Xisco Mensua , in Jordi Roses or Diego Guirao , next to those of the most renowned and renowned artists such as Daza Rosas (Almeria, 1934 - Sitges, 1992), Bruno (Sitges, 1921 - 2000), Juan Navarro Ramón (Altea, Alicante , 1903 - Sitges, 1989) and Anna Lenchs ( Montzen , Belgium 1943). One of his teachers was Ramon Sanvisens , a professor at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, ​​where in 1971 Artur Duch entered, being a faithful master's disciple until he realized that once you know how to fly (paint) you have to discover New horizons, new ways for oneself, growing in change, finding and opening new paths unpublished. Artur Duch now exhibits his most intimate and last pictorial production. Plastic, material and gestural work; abstract, yes, abstract and abstract from the figurative context where it had been left. Accompany the new stage with iron sculptures that shelter stones: nests pedrals. Beyond the subject and the way we can discover the emotion. Stop striving untiringly for a prescribed sense, better take advantage of the intuition, the mildest of sensations, it can lead us to a knowledge of the whole that no word can express. Beyond the words, silence opens the door to deep contemplation, to a thorough look that identifies us with a state of consciousness where sensory perception extends to become transcendent. The most subtle vibration, the milder volume, the finer texture, the more intense color, the gestures captured in the matrical paste, Duch overflows its visual world and moves towards new perceptions where emotion and color They give the spirit and new impulse to fly high, feeling the air, water, stone, earth, wood, everything and nothing. Matter and gesture, color and aura.
There have been many exhibitions of his works in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Santander, Osca, Lleó, Málaga) as well as Europe (France, Britain,Holland,Switzerland, Andorra), as well as in Mexico and the United States less
