Lula Goce
Opening: 19/09 – 19:30

 

In the exhibition *Inner Garden*, flowers play a pivotal role in the visual narrative, presented in intricate compositions that transform into abstraction. Vibrant hues of red, magenta, and purple evoke passion and vitality, while the grays introduce a reflective melancholy. Two prominent portraits of women surrounded by lush flowers stand out, exploring the duality between human and natural beauty. The exhibition invites reflection on solitude within a beautiful setting, symbolizing the tension between connection and introspection in our relationship with nature and ourselves.

Fernando Suárez Reguera
Opening:  19/09 – 19:30

 

On September 19th, Galería Luisa Pita will present *AL OTRO LADO DEL ESPEJO* by sculptor Fernando Suárez Reguera. With a background in Fine Arts, Suárez Reguera is known for merging the organic with the mechanical, utilizing iron, bronze, resins, mirrors, and other materials.

 

The exhibition explores the perception of space and movement through suspended sculptures that defy the laws of physics and create multiple perspectives using mirrors. The show also addresses the relationship between humanity and nature, reflecting themes of stability, growth, and impermanence within a context of chaos and transformation.

The exhibition *Friccións* addresses the ecocide caused by the Prestige oil spill in 2002. Through images of the Costa da Morte, it explores the lasting impact of the oil spill and reflects on natural and anthropogenic erosion. The audiovisual piece, winner of the “Premio Contemporánea” at the International Film Festival of A Coruña, reconstructs a memory of the disaster that was not personally experienced and raises awareness about the risk of future ecological disasters in a globalized world.

Suso Basterrechea
Opening: 19/09 – 19:00

 

Suso Basterrechea’s exhibition at Galería METRO, his third show in this space, presents a continuous and evolving state of his work. The exhibition features a mix of drawings, furniture, object-sculptures, installations, video-text, mural painting, poster design, and flyers. This unfinished and ever-developing work reflects the artist’s urgency to respond to each situation and stimulus arising in his artistic, political, and social practice.

“Fragilis”
Iván Prieto
Opening: 19/09 – 20:00

 

Iván Prieto’s exhibition *Fragilis* at Galería Moretart explores human fragility through surrealist sculptures that challenge conventional standards of beauty. Prieto uses ceramics, resin, plaster, and bronze to create figures that blend the serious with the grotesque. This series addresses the ephemeral nature of existence and contemporary exhaustion, inspired by Byung-Chul Han’s *The Burnout Society*. His sculptures depict bodies in transformation, on the verge of crumbling, evoking vulnerability and self-exploitation in the digital age.

The exhibition that will open the new exhibition season will feature Ánxel Huete, recently added to the artists represented by NORDÉS, and will be curated by Juan de Nieves. Despite his extensive career, this will be something of a “return” to the art scene, as Huete has not exhibited for seven years. His last show, Ánxel Huete: A Critical Reassessment, took place at the Museo Marco in Vigo in 2017. For this occasion at the gallery, Ánxel will present his most recent and yet unpublished work.

Eduardo Martín del Pozo
Opening: 19/09 – 20:00

 

Galería Vilaseco is showcasing “The Rarest Flowers” by Eduardo Martín del Pozo, focusing on classic genres such as still life and flowers. Martín del Pozo explores the relationship between matter and surface, the desire for creation and destruction, and the dichotomies of pleasure and loss. His works, which exhibit a fascination with the accidents and traces of painting, reflect a constant transformation of elements. With an international career and exhibitions at prominent institutions, his work blends the primitive with the sophisticated, offering an engaging dialogue between body, thought, and matter.
