Selected works
ISMAEL LAGARES
Ismael Lagares (Huelva, Spain, 1978) is one of the young artists with the greatest projection in the national and international art scene. In general, his work is developed in large-format painting, with an expressionist style and a significant material load. Due to his experimental methodology, he has a colorful, vibrant, fast and loose touch that enters fully into abstraction. Lagares has been present in exhibitions in cities such as Valencia or Alicante and has received awards from numerous competitions both nationally and internationally.
NANON MORSINK
Nanon Morsink (Netherlands, 1964) uses mixed media and exploring different materials. Nanon explores a narrative where she is the hidden protagonist, seeking to reflect her relationship with the world. Among her most recognizable works are intriguing figures made from recycled materials, ropes and plastics from Andalusian greenhouses, as well as woven and intervened objects. Nanon is of Dutch origin, and since 2017 she has been working in Malaga, where she lives. She exhibits regularly in Spain, as well as in the Netherlands and other countries. In September 2019, her work was shown at the World Textile Biennial in Madrid where she won the second prize for 'Textile Art Photography', recently her work has been exhibited in Chicago, Illinois.
Luis Perez Calvo
Luis Pérez Calvo (Madrid, Spain, 1962) is a painter and illustrator whose work draws directly from the circus, cinema, urban popular music, rummaging in El Rastro, street parties and old comics. Raised in the working-class Madrid neighbourhoods of Lavapiés and Embajadores, his imagery responds to the most traditional and popular Spanish culture from the 1960s to the 1980s, eminently. Thus, in his works, the Beach Boys rub shoulders with Superman, Batman or the characters of Ibáñez; classic food dishes with fragments of old magazines and Bazooka chewing gum wrappers or Lagarto soap advertisements.
TONO BARREIRO
Toño Barreiro (Zamora, Spain, 1965) has been developing, since the mid-eighties, a multidisciplinary work that alternates photography, painting, sculpture and digital processes. The questioning of the limits of the pictorial medium, through the play with sculptural elements and the breaking of the traditional framework of painting, is a constant in his work. In it we can appreciate a whole series of new methodologies and creative processes that give rise to paintings that are sometimes sinuous and synaesthetic, other times geometric and at the same time organic. At its origin is the articulation of the line and the plane playing with the concepts of deconstruction, symbiosis, the most elementary biological processes, superposition or folding.
Isabel Alonso Vega
Isabel Alonso Vega (Madrid, Spain, 1968) has a degree in Fine Arts from the Complutense University. She currently lives and works in Madrid. In 2013 she began to shape and become an active part of the Centro de Arte Urgel 3 in Madrid. This organization promotes international interaction between European artists through residencies, art exhibitions, international art fairs, etc. Her work has been shown in numerous galleries in Europe and the United States such as Krause Gallery (NY), White Noise Gallery (Rome, Italy), Löwenbrau Kunst Zurich (Zurich, Switzerland), at the Ulf Larsson Gallery (Cologne, Germany), among others.
WENDY WHITE
Wendy White (Connecticut, USA, 1971) was born and raised in Deep River, Connecticut. After receiving her Fine Arts education at the College of Fine Arts and Design in Savannah, Georgia, and completing her Master of Fine Arts degree at the Mason Gross School of the Arts in New Jersey, the artist moved to New York in 2007, where she lives in Chinatown, Manhattan. The artist, who began her career as a sculptor and was educated in three-dimensional textiles and fibers, creates mixed-media works that defy the limitations of the traditional canvas; an approach to creation that reflects the nature of her home and muse, the vibrant city of New York. White has participated in group and solo exhibitions throughout the United States, as well as internationally, from Miami to Paris, Madrid and Tokyo. She has also received the Painting Fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts (2012) and the George Segal Painting Grant (2008).
MIGUEL NUNEZ
Miguel Núñez (Cádiz, Spain, 1991) is based on the contemplation of the environment and the embrace of tradition, giving rise to representations of classical sculptures and other archaeological elements in the natural environment. Dramatized compositions where the archaeological manifests personal concerns and the landscape is understood as something to be lived and not to be seen. Abstraction is also very present in his work, not in a visible way but in a conceptual way during the process, since abstract painting, like all constructed things, is subject to a well-defined limitation. In his case, this limitation is his own experience with painting. The interest in classical sculpture is due to the fact that they determined human representation at the most dignified level.
FLAVIA JUNQUEIRA
Flávia Junqueira (São Paulo, Brazil, 1985) is primarily involved with photography. The visual universe of childhood and the construction of an imaginary about this period have permeated the artist's work since the beginning of her production. Her works are part of collections such as MAM-SP, MIS-SP, MABFAAP, Museu do Itamaraty, RedBull Station, Banco Mundial and Instituto Figueiredo Ferraz. With a PhD from the Instituto de Arte da Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP, a Master's degree in Visual Poetry from the University of São Paulo and a Bachelor of Arts from Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado, the artist also completed her postgraduate studies in photography at FAAP.
MARTA BARRENECHEA
Marta Barrenechea (Madrid, Spain, 1964) is an artist with a unique, almost indefinable style. We discovered her oil paintings on paper, most of them large-format, up to 4 metres, in an exhibition she held at the Ángel Romero gallery in Madrid more than ten years ago. Her work had something profound, simple, and constant at the same time; marked with a personal and continuous stamp. Her first solo exhibition with us took place in 2014, and since then her production has become much more concrete and defined. She does not aim to create a repetitive and paralysing system.
DIEGO BENEITEZ
Diego Beneitez (Zamora, Spain, 1986) was initially self-taught and then pursued artistic training. His first urban works precede his first painting exhibition in a collective in 2008 in Zamora, his hometown. "21 Emergen" (at the Palacio de la Alhóndiga) was followed by several collective exhibitions in Spanish cities and in Portugal. His participation in fairs later earned him the third prize for painting at the AXA Cathedral in Burgos, which had preceded his selection for the BMW Painting Prize and the Open de Extremadura or his first prizes at the Muncunill Roca and the Bancaja Foundation (Segorbe) in 2015.
STEFANO BONACCI
Stefano Bonacci (Perugia, Italy, 1971) began his training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia and continued his studies at different schools and art centers in Italy and the United Kingdom. In 2014 he received a scholarship from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. His works move across different disciplines, including painting, sculpture and installation. This multidisciplinary nature can be seen in his pieces created from a poetic and material conception. Stefano has participated in international fairs such as Art New York and national fairs such as Estampa or Drawing Room. In 2019 he exhibited individually at the Giuseppe Verdi Cultural Center in Milan, Italy.
Patrick Grijalva
According to Patrik Grijalvo (Bilbao, 1984), making the work owe itself only to itself is an old ideal of modern art: cutting the ties that bind it to natural reality and letting it be, all contained within its pure limits. Retaking this venerable aim without incurring in abstraction and, moreover, doing so through the medium of photography seems almost impossible. But Patrik Grijalvo has found a way to reinforce the autonomy of his images, weakening their link with the real referent -without losing it- and reclaiming their status as objects. In his hands they become sculptures: pieces of delicate and subtle volume, achieved through a serene composition of planes.
