- About Basati
- Perhaps because Basati –wild in Basque language– was conceived during a severe bout of lumbago, its strokes are heavy and provocative, as if trying to defy logic and gravity alike, placing the heaviest strokes in inconvenient/unconventional places, and doing so with the rage that sometimes overwhelms the wickedly ill. The creation process was also quite unorthodox. It began with the design of the black version, in which all possible resources are deployed to give it that powerful and provocative character. Lighter versions were then drawn in an exploratory exercise where the replication of the most characteristic features of Basati is challenged by the scarcity of the material to shape them.
