Brunilda À La Plata
Genís Rigol presents "Brunilda à la Plata" (Brunilda in La Plata), his first graphic novel, published in 2025. The exhibition at Huberty & Breyne Paris Chapon features original plates from this work, which explores themes of memory, fiction, and the creative process. Rigol's art is characterized by a strong command of movement, composition, and staging, with his black and white plates designed to guide the viewer's eye through an intense narrative.
The graphic novel "Brunilda à la Plata" unfolds as a dreamlike narrative centered around the elusive figure of Brunilda and a playwright struggling with creative block. The exhibition showcases Rigol's experimental approach to the comic medium, treating each double-page spread as a stage. The artwork navigates between caricature and meticulous detail, blending burlesque, the grotesque, and the dreamlike, with the occasional use of color adding an almost unreal layer.
