Painting by Joan Soler Jové, mixed media on paper from the Manlleu exhibition. Total frame and mat dimensions: 73 x 55 cm; Artwork dimensions: 47 x 31 cm. Joan Soler-Jové (Barcelona, May 26, 1934) is a Catalan painter and draftsman who trained under the clear influence of his father, Ramón Soler Liró, a great painter and extraordinary draftsman, and co-founder of the Nou Ambient group. Soler-Jové trained at the Llotja and the Círculo Artístico de Sant Lluc in Barcelona. In 1952, at just 17 years old, he received a scholarship from the Barcelona City Council to study in Madrid. Ten years later, in 1962, he studied at the Círculo Maillol of the French Institute of Barcelona, chaired by Josep Maria de Sucre, and was awarded another scholarship to study in Paris. He spent two years in France, Belgium, and Germany, and in 1964 he moved to Mallorca, where he lived until 1980. Since then, he has lived and Artworked in Sitges. Throughout his long career, Soler-Jové has received and continues to receive numerous awards and recognitions for his Artwork as an artist and for his passion for the circus. On September 20, 1995, he was appointed an Academician of the Royal Catalan Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi. Many have written about the painter Joan Soler-Jové, but it is very difficult for anyone to define his painting better than his friend Camilo José Cela. Since they met in the 1960s in Palma de Mallorca, they have professed mutual respect and admiration for each other. In 1968 Camilo José Cela wrote: "my friend Soler-Jové draws the circus by dipping his little brush into the heart", and in 1971 he added: "Joan Soler-Jové is a miserly draftsman of lines, a painter with a schematic palette in which nothing is missing and nothing is left over; I mean that Joan Soler-Jové does not spend or squander a single extra line, a single unnecessary and superfluous brushstroke... Joan Soler-Jové adopts at all times a permanently valid and eternal attitude: that of one who knows that art is balance and the just economy of expressive means. Joan Soler-Jové has the rare talent - denied to so many - of knowing the exact moment of perfection, which is the very instant of the last stroke or the last brushstroke: not one before, nor another after".
