This week it’s the turn of a sprightly 85-year-old gentleman
and a scholar to feature as the Artist on Ibiza in our popular fortnightly series.
On Wednesday afternoon of this week, José P Ribas and I drove across the
island to the old town of Ibiza for a meeting with an immortalized Ibicencan painter,
Vicente Ferrer Guasch, who like one of Ferrer Guasch’s kinsman and a previous
candidate for Artists on Ibiza, Antoni Pomar (Weekly Edition 063 Saturday 11th
May 2002), has been producing exceptional paintings for well over the past fifty
years. We met with Vicente Ferrer Guasch in his warm studio
in the centre of town and nearby to the bustling old port of Ibiza. Vicente immediately
struck us as a charming man who’s seen one or two things above the norm during
his long lifetime and although Ferrer Guasch is getting on in years he was full
of courage and eager to talk enthusiastically about a new adventure and a fresh
challenge with his exhibition of recent paintings due to open shortly in New York
City. Halfway through our meeting his wife, Fanny, came into the studio to carefully
attend to any of her husband’s needs. As you can
well imagine, there are lots and lots of pictures of Ferrer Guasch’s many
paintings to show but we simply don’t have enough room in this week’s
edition for everything. Therefore, today we will show what is possible and then
next week we will give our readers another opportunity to see more of the magnificent
work that this true artist has achieved to put together over the decades of his
colourful life.
