Gironell studied at the Escola Superior de Art i Disseny Llotja de Barcelona and EINA (Escola de Art i Disseny de Barcelona). Throughout his career he has worked in different disciplines: painting, sculpture, photography, installations. Narcís Gironell is an artist with a long and recognized trajectory who has his own register inspired by pop music, advertising iconography, cinema, urban culture, Japanese aesthetics, and popular stories, etc... The result is a work of a happy and brilliant aspect, a showy and luxurious universe with an ironic and sinister nuance. His works speak of a visual archive of contemporary society with its consumerist tics, its continuous promises, its clichés of perfection and health. All these seductive and artificial images hide a double moral that can be read between the lines of innocence, beauty and perfection as a promise of something carnal and dark.
