Guillem Nadal began his exhibition career in his native Majorca, in the Gallery Sa Pleta Freda of Son Servera, place where he makes the work that is presented, in 1985. Since then he has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in galleries in Barcelona, such as the well-known Dau al Set, the Centre Cultural de la Caixa in Valencia, the Palau Gravina in Alicante and the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB). He has also exhibited internationally, at the Joachim Becker Gallery in Cannes, France; at the Tobias Hirschmann Gallery in Frankfurt, Germany, at the Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain in Nice; the Michaela Möeller Gallery in Salzburg, Germany, and others. The artist works both painting and sculpture, from a point of view that does not shy away from figuration but is particularly interested in texture, surface, material. In this way, in his works one can understand the mystical feeling caused by emptiness, which is sometimes catalogued by different critics as a "Zen touch" in harmony with an ordered chaos.
