Euskaraz irakurri: Jose Zugastik sortu du Donostiako 85. Musika Hamabostaldiko kartela

The painter and sculptor Jose Zugasti (Eibar, 1952) is the author of the poster for the 85th Musical Fortnight, which will be held between August 1 and 30 mainly in San Sebastián and also in some other Basque towns.

The Eibar artist transitioned from painting to sculpture, only to return in recent years to painting and also delve into video creation.

Regarding his work, the Musical Fortnight explains that “Eibar, the industrial town in which he was born, imprints on Jose Zugasti an important part of his aesthetic singularity”: “The suppression of the mass and the resulting nakedness in its lines and forms will be foundations important in its evolution”.

“Like an orchestra conductor drawing music in space with his baton, the forms, in this case painting, fight to free themselves from the pregnant, marking different melodies in space, low and high flights between the calm and the aggressive, the diverse character of nature”, Zugasti explained about the image that will illustrate the Fortnight.

Speaking about music in general, the artist states that “sometimes I feel jealous of it, of its ability to transmit, closer than that of the visual, or at least that is the sensation it gives me. It produces emotions in me that! I wish I could get them visually!
