Joan Brossa - Neorealisme

Although the figure of this artist and poet is immeasurable, the work Neorealisme allows us to approach and explain many facets of the Brossian universe. This piece, composed of seventeen framed mirrors, is a good example of the mixture of containment and irony, and is part of a rich imaginary composed of everyday objects in which the artist wants to rediscover magic. Brossa's is a school of the eye that fixes on that banal, belittles heroes and breaks gender conventions. But Brossa, in addition, involves the spectator, surprises him, encourages him to think, or disturbs him with poetic appearances -in this case, from the same viewer- as simple as they are complex.
With an enigmatic poetic wisdom, Brossa, deconstructor of language, conjurer of the signs, has left us a poetic universe in expansion, in constant mutation, like love, like the moment, like life, like mirrors.
