10 minutes with… Misterpiro

Oct. 30, 2020

He is young, spontaneous, very talented, and freedom flows through every inch of his being, but above all, of his work. Big color stains that overlap each other creating a glazed effect, random brush strokes that become abstract forms and color, a lot of color. Misterpiro (Plasencia, 1994) has managed to bring together under a… Read more » Continue reading

Studio Visit: Gordopelota

Oct. 27, 2020

Óscar Hormigos: Art in the ‘New Media’ Era

Oct. 20, 2020

Talking to Óscar Hormigos (Madrid, 1973) could be considered as a journey to the future: art creation through Artificial Intelligence in real time, ‘crypto art’ sales through digital platforms, evolution of generative art… But nothing is further from the truth: the future is already here and it is presented within Contemporary Art with an infinite… Read more » Continue reading

Autumn agenda: our must go exhibitions

Oct. 12, 2020

Exhibitions are piling up! In spite of the slow pace at which the sector (and the planet itself!) are stretching out, the exhibitions are still standing as a reference.

Art to conquer the space

Sept. 17, 2020

And no, we don’t mean outer space. No constellations, no planets. We are talking about the public, the private, the space in general: about art in the city.
