The Eka & Moor gallery inaugurated last Tuesday 7th the group exhibition Mundos encontrados, which brings together a selection of works of different formats and genres developed by 10 national and international artists.
Mundos encontrados presents, through image and form, a reflection of the expressions of art of our time. Judith Cuba and Iris Reichel, curators of the exhibition, explain that the intention is to show the different stylistic and technical concerns that coexist in our environment, highlighting the individuality of each creator.
In the exhibition we will be able to observe the works of the sculptors, Krum Stanoev veteran artist of Bulgarian origin who surprises us with his sculpture-murals of laser-cut metal, giving his work a great lightness but with a density of meaning that makes us perceive it as a sculptural poem and the young talent Ivan Gómez, a Spanish sculptor who works with different materials, alabaster, bronze, iron, to give life to faces full of tranquillity and mysticism to find those hidden and repressed feelings of the individual who observes, using it as a mirror in which to look at himself. In painting we have the German artist Astrid Reichel who has been developing a very personal art, of high expressive value between abstract expressionism and informalism, although she has a solid academic background, her concern is the search and experimentation with colour and matter channelled by feelings and intuition. Continuing along the same expressionist and abstract line, the Canadian painter Deborah Catton presents us with a small collection where colour and feelings are related, each tonality expressing a state of mind. The paintings in this series are the result of a recent trip she made to the coast of southern Spain. Very different is the work of the Spanish artist Bibivi, painter, illustrator and graphic artist with a very versatile style, influenced by advertising, fashion, posters, iconographic culture and pop art. Her work is a reflection and critique of consumer society.
Lika Shkhvatsabaia, Georgian artist offers us harmony through a figurative abstraction of intense and bright colours of Mediterranean luminism, as the artist says optimism defines her painting as a cry of hope in a contradictory and complicated world.
The drawing comes from the hand of Imeldo Delgado (native of Santa Cruz de Tenerife) with a very peculiar technique, combining the classic with the modern, playing with icons and images referring to both periods, where traditional techniques coexist that the artist has recovered and renewed. In contrast, the work of the North American artist Emma Ferguson presents two recently created series in which different techniques are used with ephemeral materials to capture nature's capacity for transformation, the end result being a colourful work of great visual beauty. Photography has the magic of trapping the moment and materialising the ephemeral to then share the gaze. Inés Ramseyer, Argentinean photographer and architect shares her gaze through her vision as an architect, capturing the qualities of space and the different scales, working with light and shadows, with the materiality of surfaces and the limits of space, it is here where she finds the connection with her photographic work. We would also like to highlight the participation of Daniella Oviedo Ponte (DOP), an emerging Venezuelan artist who combines her profession as an architect with painting and illustration. She bases her artistic work on geometric abstraction, on the tracing of shapes, volumes and geometrically impossible abstract perspectives, seeking the exaltation of shapes, lights and shadows.
This is a great sample of the art of our time, plural and expressive, dialoguing and silent, where needs, searches and liberations coexist, and where each artist seeks his individuality to create his own world.

This exhibition will be open to the public until 16 March.
