Group show
I am participating in the group exhibition “José María de Labra. Correspondences,” open from April 1 to August 30, 2025, at the Centro Obra Social ABANCA in Santiago de Compostela. This show is the second chapter in a series dedicated to revisiting the ABANCA and Afundación art collections from a contemporary perspective, encouraging dialogue between generations and artistic languages.
The exhibition pays tribute to José María de Labra (A Coruña, 1925 – Palma de Mallorca, 1994), a key figure in the development of abstraction and normative art in Spain, whose work always sought to merge painting and architecture. The show brings together 55 works, including historical pieces and new creations by invited artists, selected to engage in a dialogue with Labra’s legacy and to rethink abstraction from a contemporary viewpoint.
Among the participating artists are both Galician and national creators who, like myself, explore new possibilities within abstract language. The exhibition also features site-specific proposals created for the occasion and works by artists such as Pablo Barreiro, Almudena Fernández, Tatiana Medal, Kiko Pérez, Arancha Goyeneche, Hisae Ikenaga, Belén Rodríguez, Gloria García Lorca, Carlos Maciá, and Robert Martorell i Ferrer, generating a rich network of visual and conceptual correspondences around Labra’s figure.
