The Catalonian-born
Gironella
grew up in a family of cork-makers and spent much of his adult
life engaged in the profession.
After serving in the Spanish Civil
War, he began to carve increasingly complex reliefs from the
material, drawing his ideas from
literature, myth and religion.
Gironella believed that the organic
shape of cork should decide his
imagery, an approach which
seemed to influence
Dubuffet’s
own figurative oeuvre.
