Viladecans Posters

A language of symbols

In the 1970s, poetry experienced a moment of exceptional vitality with the proliferation of groups, publishers, festivals and meetings that Viladecans joins as another poet. His creations, tied to visual poetry, object poems and Lettrism, approach poetry through non-written means.

Viladecans’ posters and the covers of the poetry series books from the Llibres del Mall collection distil the collective impulse of poetry from the perspective of the “Catalan Countries”. They unravel the inner, individual and non-transferable world of each poet, connecting it to a higher dimension of ideas, concepts and myths. Like young poets combining abstraction, formalism and popular culture, Viladecans is particularly tied to the masters Joan Brossa, Salvador Espriu and Miquel Martí i Pol.
