La casualidad de un descubrimiento que te golpea dentro del tránsito vital de la ciudad siempre sorprende, sobre todo ahora donde lo más dificil es encontrar imágenes que te puedan atrapar. Fue así, por azar, en uno de estos paseos urbanos, donde ví sus fotografías por primera vez. En un primer momento, aparecieron como una coincidencia en la manera de desvelar aquello visible y me conmovió aquella forma de mirar que actúa como un espejo...

A museum's collection intrinsically traces notions of history and time. But what history or histories do we tell? We are aware that, traditionally, museums have been trapped within a canonical view of history that seeks to establish sequential order between time periods. This traditional approach aims to explain works of art with documents and testimonies from an era without understanding that the images and objects far surpass the circumstances from which they were born. In this light, this ...

Un desasosiego familiar nos recorre cuando observamos las fotografías de Puy Pinillos.
Sus imágenes nos transportan a los espacios de nuestra memoria habitados por seres y lugares fantásticos que nos acompañaron en nuestra infancia, y que de un modo u otro, han crecido con nosotros (nos pertenecen). En sus imágenes nos vemos irremediablemente arrastrados a ese territorio simbólico de los cuentos escritos, capaces de modificar nuestro destino a...

A través del trabajo fotográfico de diez artistas tanto nacionales como internacionales esta exposición se centra en la periferia como el territorio en transformación que rodea las ciudades y que empuja al mundo rural, a lo que queda de naturaleza, hacia unas reservas que prácticamente desaparecerán con el tiempo.
Imágenes en las que vemos un paisaje transformado artificialmente y todavía no definido, sin categoría moral y ...

Fúcares Gallery is proud to present the first individual exhibition in Almagro by the artist Javier Ayarza (Palencia, 1961).

In Javier Ayarza’s career as an artist there is an element that provides the different series that he has presented in recent years with continuity, and this element is his interest for territory and traces. It could be said that his is a work about “marks”.

Javier Ayarza’s artistic practice has its roots in t...

Cuando Sigmar Polke hizo su descubrimiento personal de la fotografía el trabajo artístico solía terminar con la elaboración del negativo. El aspecto documental era determinante, y pocos se preguntaban por la influencia del revelado en el surgimiento de la imagen. Los fotógrafos buscaban la perfección técnica, llevados de la ilusión de acceder a la realidad misma con su cámara, como si de una lupa se tratara. Para Polke, en cambio,...

ROGER BALLEN
In the 1970s, Roger Ballen (United States, 1950) began portraiture work on people and towns in South Africa, where he has lived to date. In the 90s, he moved away from documentary photography to explore fiction with composite images where beauty and anguish coexist. In them, people and animals are shown with unsettling poses in compositions formed by wires, shadows, sheets, stained walls, drawings and material scraps. These images with their surrealist shadings convey feel...

La galería Fúcares se complace en presentar la exposición individual de Concha García (Santander, 1960) en su espacio de Madrid.

Y cuando el bosque brama, y gime la tormenta, cuando los enormes pinos, agitándose, aplastan y tumban las ramas y los troncos vecinos, cuando con su caída retumba sorda y hueca la colina, tú me llevas a una segura caverna y allí me muestras a mí mismo y se me develan  los secretos pro...

Manel Esclusa, one of the Spanish creators with a more personal iconographic and recognizable universe, presents an unpublished serie of images. There converge some of the nuclear elements of his relation with the photography on them. They are minimalist images "installed" in the middle of the landscape.

The process of each work by Keisuke Shirota begins with a photograph; one of many random and banal shots he has taken over time.  It is not because of emotional attachment to a time or place that he chooses a photograph, but for his interest in its composition.  Having no clear recollection of where the photograph was taken, it is a combination of memory and creative fantasy that Shirota expands on the image, applying the actual color photograph to a canvas and extending the imagery...

MIGUEL RIO BRANCO Dislecsia
Dislecsia is a large collage of images made by Miguel Rio Branco since his beginning in photography, when he was still mostly involved in painting. The idea of Dislecsia came from the fact that in poetry the way we construct is not necessarily the same as in usual common daylife. For Miguel Rio Branco it is poetic reality that counts. It is not reality that is real, but the way in which he as an artist experiences it and recreates it. On the basis of his ide...

The images within the body of work, Moon Studies and Star Scratches, are not available to the eye until they are fixed on some photographic material. Traditional realms of the sublime -- vast night skies here -- are the subjects examined and transformed within the camera. What's left behind film suggests traces from experience.

The camera itself is a metaphor for the pervasive presence of technology within the landscape. It mediates our interaction with the natural world. It a...
