Las leyes de lo natural exhibition at ASTARTE Gallery

The ASTARTE Gallery continues its purpose to consolidate contemporary artists who have developed a career and, at the same time, it works as a platform to young active creators in national and international artistic level. On this occasion and under the curation of the also young woman Carmen Sánchez-Blanco, the gallery announces the Las leyes de lo natural exhibition.

This exhibition shows the work carried out by five young Spanish artists who carry out their work in Madrid; however, these aspects in common are only a coincidence placing them in a particular context.

All of them make their research about time and space with different proposals of re-appropriation and contextualization, combining the ephemeral thing with the eternity and the emptiness with the fullness of the place. They use Nature as the place where they create their ephemeral installations, or as protagonist of the images presented, with a common poetic art. Their works express things related to, space, time and memory, always in connection with nature, the inhabited spaces and passable spaces.
