PROPUESTA PARA UNA COLECCIÓN

Collecting implies the adventure of achieving everything, where coherence quantifies the different styles related to each other but also allows their classification. In the art world, collecting is a matter of conquering not only the feeling, but also the reason.

Hobby, passion and way of living, are the foundations for which the Miguel Marcos gallery presents from April 4 the sample: Proposal for a collection, a selection of works by artists who have marked an era in Spanish contemporary art: Juan Antonio Aguirre (Madrid, 1945 – 2016), Chema Cobo (Tarifa, Cádiz, 1952 – Málaga, 2023), Carlos Franco (Madrid, 1951), Antón Lamazares (Pontevedra, 1954), Francisco Leiro (Cambados, Pontevedra, 1957 ), Juan Navarro Baldeweg (Santander, 1939) and Manolo Quejido (Sevilla, 1946) dialogue with each other, from the plurality of concepts and contents to the convergence of aesthetic, plastic and visual values ​​of the chosen works, expressed on canvas or paper in the most diverse techniques: oil, pastel, acrylic, mixed… and wood.

From the naïf terms expressed in a paradoxical figuration, within a monochrome range of fuchsia in different intensities by Juan Antonio Aguirre to the ironic and provocative attitude of plaintive pop art, with the vibrant chromaticism in Manolo Quejido’s figurative tradition, the exhibition presents the singularity of the works of Chema Cobo, in which conceptual art combines and plays with the nature, and figuration, which concentrates on playing with. Regarding Carlos Franco, the precision and fondness of the technique used in the exposed painting find within a lovingly painted realistic discourse, within a landscape classicism.

Antón Lamazares resorts to an implausible format, extremely vertical, with a thin blade, which does not cease to recall Giacometti’s sculptures, and where a sense of humour prevails, based on a strange tightrope-walking poetry, in perfect conversation with the wooden sculpture. by Francisco Leiro, of primitive slenderness and a look that is somewhere between surprised and questioning. In Juan Navarro Baldeweg’s painting, the painter focuses on the balance of colour, from which he protects its intensity and shape, through order, in a seductive figurative plane not devoid of mystery.

Proposal for a collection invites to attract the impulse that moves to treasure art and that it is perceived as something “own” by those who want to collect artistic works, to consider them as part of their life: their identity and seal.
