“With the exhibition Cossos, ciutats, interiors, the audience has the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the wide range of motifs in a work that shows the relevance of figuration, in a fruitful dialogue with tradition, and that recreates life in all its profound superficiality. In Eduardo Mendoza's words, for Oscar Tusquets, painting is “his autobiography or, rather, his way of understanding life and relating to his environment.”

Through his views of cities—Barcelona and Benidorm—houses, gardens, interiors, nudes, everyday objects, portraits, and self-portraits, Oscar Tusquets challenges any pretext—no matter how trivial, vulgar, or daring—and stands firmly as a defender of the meaning of figurative painting at a time when many declare its death, while also revealing that art can be the best celebration of life. As he himself affirms: Without figuration, little fun.”
