This Saturday, January 11, the artists of N2 Gallery, Teresa Gancedo and Kenor, will perform a guided tour at Drap-Art'19, the 23rd edition of the Sustainable Art Festival that takes place at the Maritime Museum of Barcelona. It is a unique opportunity to hear these two artists talk about their work.
TERESA GANCEDO (Tejedo del Sil, León, 1937). She is one of the leading artists of her generation. Her first solo exhibition was presented in 1972 by Antonio Gamoneda at the Sala Provincia, León. In the 1980s, she participated in the New Images from Spain exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, which makes her one of the first Spanish artists to exhibit in this museum. More recently, MUSAC carried out a great retrospective of her work -between October 27, 2018 and January 13, 2019- which was the starting point for a itinerancy, still ongoing, throughout the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León. Her work explores the power of the symbolic and the expression of the unconscious. It is situated between lyricism and mysticism, hedonism and sensuality.
KENOR (L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, 1976) Multidisciplinary artist of wide international projection, has successfully exhibited his study work in galleries and artfairs in France, Belgium, Italy and the United States. The geometric abstraction that characterizes his work is a visual reinterpretation of music. The creative process usually begins by choosing a song and performing it. To each beat corresponds a gesture, a color. The lines intersect and overlap one another. In the same way that the compass forms the color of the song, the set of lines and their colors form the rhythm of the work. In the artist's words, what he intends is to incite the viewer to «feel part of a sound fragment». His sculptural work continues to be close to his first installations in abandoned spaces, when he used the residual materials that remained after the dismantling, mainly iron and wood.
Until January 19, 2020, pieces by Mario Soria, Kenor and Teresa Gancedo can be seen among the works exhibited in the Museum Hall.
