COMMENTS
FROM CRITICS AT EXHIBITIONS
“Beltran
Bofill another great painter”
Carlos
Senti “LEVANTE” 22/02/1978
“In
Beltran Bofill's paintings there is Poetry, ecstasy, atmosphere
and flavour. There is body and soul – Magnificent”
D.
Ramis Caubet “BALEARES ESPECIAL ARTE” 19/11/1978
“He
captures change in tension in the scene. One of the greatest
achievements”
Fernando
Gutierrez “LA VANGUARDIA” 26/05/1979
“The
way he captures light, but not the crudeness of direct light,
transparent but without being synthetic. Like music by catching
different tones can create a completely new instrument.”
“Above
painting Beltran Bofill has the rare quality of taking time
to think, he is a philosopher, fruit of the labour of life,
continuous, inquisitive. He has taken his time to create
his conclusion it is Art – Solid Art.”
Jaime
Nicolau “Ultima Hora” 1/10/1981
“Beltan
Bofill shows his genius equally both in figure and landscape.
It is exciting and bewildering that an artist can demonstrate
these qualities across the two areas.”
