THE FURTIVE HUNTER

This exhibition unveils the artist’s creative process through 58 pieces, 41 of which had never been on display before. The works are organised around Corazón’s key themes: his table designs, outlining his personality at the outset of the show; still lifes; the cliffs he studied and painted from the sea; sculptures and bronzes; nocturnal and sand gardens; a “silence” (of the kind he always sought as an inner path to his creativity); and a self-portrait that is nothing other– yet again – than one of his infinite views of cliffs. Inaugurated in Cuenca in October 2021, the exhibition is touring Alicante, La Rioja, Segovia and Valladolid to come again to Castilla-La Mancha so as to finish its itinerance at the Roberto PoloCollection. Centre of Modern and Contemporary Art in Toledo next year.

EXHIBITION

José Manuel Ballester.
De Mondrian a Malévich

Rarely has the geometric abstraction of Islamic art encountered a more inspired dialogue with modern and contemporary creation. José Manuel Ballester (Madrid, 1960), winner of Spain’s National Photography Prize in 2010 and the National Engraving Prize in 1999, analyses, deconstructs and recreates the work of two of the greatest exponents of abstract geometric art that the world has ever known: Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872–1944, the founder of neoplasticism) and Ukrainian artist Kazimir Malevich (1878–1935, the father of suprematism). And the venue chosen to exhibit this dialogue is the remains of the caliphate palace (9th-11th c.), then Mudejar church (18th c.), invoking the echo and memory of Arab culture: the most direct reference in the abstract iconography of the avant-garde movements.
