Artist Paula Bonet is opening an exhibition at the Museu Can Framis.

L’anguila. La carn com a pintura i la pintura com a mirall.

Paula Bonet, painter and writer, presents L’anguila. The Flesh as Painting and Painting as Mirror at the Can Framis Museum, an exhibition revisiting her earlier project of the same name. Bonet explores a pictorial language on the edge of figuration and abstraction in dialogue with her written work.

L’anguila represents a turning point in Paula Bonet’s career and arrives at the Fundació Vila Casas to be revisited and expanded for the first time since her recent books. The exhibition presents previously unseen works and features fragments of texts from her autobiographical novel L’anguila (Anagrama, 2021) on the walls of the exhibition space.

This project combines painting and literature into a unique work that creates connections between the written word and the painted stroke. In this exhibition, Bonet reflects on the world around us and, particularly, on issues that resonate strongly with women. Sexuality, childbirth, and abortion are the main themes of this project.

On October 24, the artist will accompany the public on a guided tour. The exhibition will be open to visitors at the Can Framis Museum until January 19, 2025.
