Benet Rossell (23 October 1937 โ 21 August 2016), was a Spanish artist.
Drawing, engraving, sign writing, performance, sculpture, film, music, theatre, and poetry were interwoven through Rossell's work, creating an extremely personal conception in which the artwork is a process of constant reinvention.
Rossell fashioned a poetics of fragility tinged with irony and a critical spirit, and delved into the micro-worlds that are generally ignored by the absolutist accounts of art history.
Though abstract in appearance, his work has a strong narrative component, which modestly and discreetly draws on the artist's own biography.
