Lluís Claramunt

Lluís Claramunt (August 19, 1951, in Barcelona – December 18, 2000, in Zarautz) was a Spanish artist.

Biography
A self-taught artist, Claramunt belongs to a generation that tried to be of its time without belonging to it. The start of his career in the 1970s coincided with the emergence of a more politicised approach to art to which most of his contemporaries subscribed, at a time when Barcelona was teeming with experimental initiatives in the spheres of art, literature and film, as well as underground subcultures.

During this period, Claramunt swam against the tide, focusing on painting rather than looking to the avant-gardes for inspiration. The finishes of naturalist painting, and in particular the work of Isidre Nonell, became the first rung of the ladder that Claramunt would build in the course of his life. The subject matter and style of his work gradually changed as Claramunt physically and socially distanced himself from Barcelona.
