Notes related to Fernando Pradilla

Fernando Pradilla presents a group exhibition that highlights the strength of contemporary Latin American art through the work of five artists from Colombia, Peru, and Brazil, alongside three Spanish artists.

Vicky Neumann brings together recent works that explore memory and mourning through nostalgia-laden scenes. Through layering, cutting and recomposing the canvas, she reclaims painting as a space of destruction and repair.

Alberto Baraya brings together his projects Vento and Camelias Expedition, developed in Galicia, in an exhibition that combines video and installation as records of artistic and scientific action and research, reflecting on landscape, botany, and methods of exploration.

Álvaro de Benito 

Memoria vegetal brings together previously unseen works that form landscapes describing processes and absences. Monsalve uses fossil residue as pigment, inserting it into his work both as a technique and as a symbol to reflect on how humanity transforms its environment and its own history.

The Fernando Pradilla Gallery is exhibiting Palabra y Obra at its Madrid venue, a new solo show by Óscar Abraham Pabón (San Juan de Colón, Venezuela, 1984) in which, once again, a psychological investigation or anecdotal narrative is transformed into matter—though without restricting the possibility of the reverse path. The exhibition features recent works by the artist, pieces that maintain a certain relationship between the material and the everyday as something tangible through which to address symbolic notions of a philosophical nature.

Fernando Pradilla presents Depresión Tropical (Tropical Depression), Gonzalo Fuenmayor’s (Barranquilla, Colombia, 1977) third solo exhibition at the gallery. The show brings together a new series of charcoal drawings created specifically for its Madrid headquarters. In this latest body of work—caught between references to nature and the artificial, between chaos and tranquility—the artist offers a vision in which climate becomes a metaphorical instrument for personal and cultural transformation, as well as a certain historiography.
