Presided by the Mayor of St. Cugat, the vernissage of Miquel Cabanas Alibau’s works was one of the most anticipated events the Rusiñol Gallery had organized for its 25th Anniversary. It was like engulfing us into our family and artistic roots. The exhibition shows the two aspects of the guest of honour: that is, painting and poetry. In this picture we can see Miquel Cabanas’ self-portrait, his son Ignasi and a friend of the family.

« Back to homeMerry Christmas & happy new year
«Bright Christmas night, oh, night of wonder! // Headed by the light 
Of a sudden star,
Will forget the evil and drive out the darkness of our ailing heart.
This so beautiful night!…» (by Miquel Cabanas i Alibau)

“The next”: Miquel Cabanas (17.XII.2010 – 12.I.2011)
For our 25 Years’ celebration, I wanted to dedicate the Christmas exhibition (which has always been extraordinary for us) to my dear late father, Miquel Cabanas i Alibau, a painter and distinguished poet in Sant Cugat del
Vallès. We are paying homage to him with this exhibition of Miquel Cabanas (1916-1995). It is necessary to use the Way.
During the opening (December 17th, 19:30 p.m.) we will present two books that the Rusiñol Gallery has edited for the occasion: the book that reproduces all the current exhibited work, and the Intimate Anthology. The latter is a selection of drawings and fragments of poetry by the artist. Our Fund of Art partners will receive one of these books as a gift.
Mr. Josep Mª Cadena, journalist and art critic, will illustrate to us a higher perspective on all this treasure, which the Rusiñol Gallery considers its heritage. This exhibition is already available online on our web.
Inauguration of Domènech i Sánchez (November 26th 2010)
With Domènech i Sánchez’s exceptional work (Meditations), the Rusiñol Gallery flaunts of a figurative exhibition causing a peculiar fascination. In fact, from the exhibited paintings —mostly representations of the feminine figure— it transpires a beautiful sensation of mystery: the pictures do go beyond the portrayal because we can recognize emotions in them.
