Papers de l'India.

In “Papers of India” (2011), Frederic Amat gathered one hundred drawings on paper (30×30 cm) made during his trips to the north and south of India starting in 2000. Author of the logo of Casa Asia, which has remained intact since the founding of this institution until the current moment, the drawings that he presented at the headquarters of Casa Asia of Barcelona form part of his most gestural and expressive painting. Along with this series of drawings, he also presented a video made during his stay in this country. More than an artist's book, it is an object designed by the artist that includes a folio-sized envelope with one of his paintings and an inclusive mosaic that collects all that field work. The exhibition took place at the Palau Baró de Quadras in 2003. The one hundred drawings are equivalent to one hundred poems written as a result of that unique experience of a training trip.
