Philip Aguirre y Otegui: L'invitation au voyage - Works on Paper (Hardcover)

Multitalented artist Philip Aguirre sees his prints as completed products. His drawings, however, serve a very different purpose within his work. He views these drawings as the start of a thought process, forming a consistent thread throughout what is, for him, a vitally important method of creation. In that process, it is not unusual to see historic heritage as a source of his inspiration. Thus, his work engages with reoccurring themes such as the spring and water in the world, immigration and refugees, and the story of Africa threading throughout his oeuvre. This book focuses on the broad palette of disciplines that Aguirre practices, reflecting on these important reoccurring themes that have been present throughout his career, as well as the role played by printmaking in his work. It also highlights the selection of prints and drawings from the rich oeuvre that he has built up over the last 40 years, which he recently donated to the collection of modern prints and drawings for the Plantin Moretus Museum print cabinet. Distributed for Mercatorfonds Exhibition Schedule: Plantin Moretus Museum, Antwerp, Belgium. The Print Cabinet. 27 0ctober 2022 - February 2023.
