Rossell's work encompasses literary creation, performance, video work, and the development of his own pictorial iconography. In 1000 a Miró, Rossell presents his graphic language, which is a fusion of small pictorial elements that collectively form a system of representation and analysis. Rossell's figures merge with those of Joan Miró, a crucial painter in Catalan art history and a connecting figure between the historical avant-gardes and artists like Rossell, who worked clandestinely during the 1960s.
1000 a Miró is a video piece that can be considered a moving painting or a two-dimensional space traversed by various works for visual delight. Using the most advanced technology available, Rossell "paints" directly on the screen with pixels. His brushstrokes transform into figures that pay homage to Miró. The imagination inspired by Miró is clearly evident in Rossell's work and his animated pieces.
Static images intertwine with moving images as different drawings and paintings overlap, bringing the brushstrokes to life before the viewer's eyes. The artwork gradually replaces Miró's basic colors with vibrant electronic colors made possible through digital means. Our gaze focuses on the details, while the music—a suite by Jaume Aiats, blending tribal sounds with acoustic experimentation—transports us to a world where abstraction becomes meaningful.
While Rossell's other videos, such as Mandorla Irlis, showcase the sculptural inclinations of the artist or his performative side, as seen in Tirant lo Món, 1000 a Miró presents us with the most pictorial aspect of his multifaceted artistic practice.
