BGW. FLASH: Deixa't créixer les ales

The exhibition ‘Let Your Wings Grow’ presents a previously unseen selection of drawings by Josefa Tolrà (1880–1959), a Catalan visionary artist and medium who conceived her practice as a channel between the visible and the invisible. Her works, executed in a trance-like state, transcend the mystical to situate themselves in the body as a space for transformation and healing.

Her drawings, executed on paper and recently discovered, are the result of her communication with “beings of light” and the souls of the departed, as she often referred to. Tolrà interweaves images and words in automatically impulse calligrams, where poetic and telegraphic writing becomes a channel for messages from the beyond. Without fitting into any language or style of her time, the drawings are the fruit of her talent and desire for extrasensory communication and invite us to look with new eyes and perceive the energies generated by life and its transformations. This exhibition is a project curated by Pilar Bonet in collaboration with the Josefa Tolrà-Art Visionari Foundation.
