Paint

44.5 x 36.5 cm

Buy

Damaris Pan (Mallabia, 1983) is an artist, teacher and researcher. She studied Fine Arts at the UPV/EHU and at the Kunsthochschule Weissensee in Berlin. He is an artist of his time, but at the same time eternal: he uses drawing and painting above all, he sets out without knowing what he will find, it seems that the creative process reveals its entrails to him. He does not have a known methodology, he does not need one.

4. Andreas Fogarasi

Roof Study #39 , 2019-2022

Paint

25 x 31 x 4 cm

Buy

Andreas Fogarasi (Vienna, 1977) examines the aestheticization and commodification of urban space and the use of architecture, art and design as instruments of legitimation at the service of power, using different media and formats, from video, photography and text to installation and sculpture.

Mixed

114 x 77 cm

Buy

Rebeca Plana (Albalat de la Ribera, Valencia, 1978) graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of San Carlos (Polytechnic University of Valencia) and works in the field of painting. Her language corresponds to that of a gestural abstraction and often goes beyond the two-dimensional format hanging on a wall to offer constructed, complex works that sometimes form site-specific installations.

6. Jorge Ribalta

Boris Karloff / Frankenstein, 1931. From the series Antlitz der Zeit (2002-2004), 2002

Photograph

57 x 45 cm

Editions: 5

Buy

Born in 1963 in Barcelona, Spain lives and works in Barcelona, Spain Jorge Ribalta's photographic work is part of the tradition of documentary photography but, at the same time, analyses and transforms that same tradition, embracing the contradictions, fragilities and unresolved tensions of what he calls the documentary “idea”. In addition to photography, Ribalta also practices writing, curating, archival and historical research and editing.

7. Juan Uslé

Limits (1), 2020

Drawing

30.5 x 23 cm

Buy

Juan Uslé (Santander, 1954) is one of the most prominent figures of a generation of painters who have attracted much of the international critical attention since the late 1980s. His work is recognised as one of the most evocative of his generation, with a very personal style linked to abstraction.

8. Christopher Ortega

Duke Ellington Sweating, 2023

Paint

95 x 85 cm

Buy

Christopher Ortega (Alhaurin de la Torre, Malaga, 1970) lives and works between Beijing and Malaga. His work is characterized by the representation of successions of pictorial notes of various timbres and shapes, harmonized as in a captivating score. His particular pictorial conception gives rise to works in which masses of oil abound on the backs.

9. Jose Miguel Pereniguez

Tíaso (young satyr), 2012

Drawing

29 x 21 cm

Buy

José Miguel Pereñíguez (Seville, 1977) has concentrated on drawing and sculpture. His work revolves around the production of objects – functional or workable – that, beyond the anecdotal, serve to investigate questions related to the theory of language, geometry or applied arts.

10. Jacopo Miliani

Lights, shadows and flowers (after Ludwig Mies van Der Rohe) 2022, 2022

Collage

21 x 45 cm

Buy

Jacopo Miliani (Florence, 1979) Jacopo Miliani's work is based on interdisciplinary research involving different practices such as installation, performance, collage and photography. His methodology produces works whose understanding focuses on different levels of interpretation.

11. Regina Gimenez

We will go to the sun, 2020

Recorded

100 x 70 cm

Buy

Regina Giménez belongs to a new generation of artists who use the great field of painting as a narrative surface. Her work is closely linked to her personal experiences: travels, memories, landscapes, nearby architectures… Each pictorial fragment takes on a life of its own and ends up building a vast mural of experiences, which fix the territory of globality on large maps, inhabit spaces where silence echoes and mark the time of an uncertain time.

12. Victoria Encinas

Popova. Unique work, 2021

Sculpture

70 x 52 x 12 cm

Buy

In his artistic work, the formal economy, indebted to the constructivist reductionisms of modern abstraction, is combined with the values of a sensual and poetic world, which emerges through the intensification of perceptual values. Minimalist logic is dissolved by the light humour of this gaze that shares the white dream of the geometric tradition, and which, paradoxically, cannot help but transgress it, under the impulse of the most exciting imperfection of life, releasing a disturbing psychic energy and poetic precision.

13. Clara Sanchez Sala

Stone lips, dressed in flesh, 2021

Mixed

40.5 x 33 cm

Buy

Clara Sánchez's work develops connections between scientific, literary and technological data from a poetic point of view, based on three fundamental themes in her research: the fictional dimension of cartographic representation; rational and metric, the reflection on the landscape as a space of encounter, and the earth as a primordial human experience. She creates a discourse referring to the complex fictional world that human beings generate.

14. Diana Lelonek

S/T (from the Barbórka series), 2020-2023

Collage

30 x 44.5 cm

Buy

Diana Lelonek's (Poland, 1988) work explores the relationships between humans and other species. Her projects are critical responses to processes of overproduction, unlimited growth and our approach to the environment. She uses photography, living matter and found objects, creating work that is interdisciplinary and often appears at the interface of art and science.
