The ‘80s
Figuration in the years of the Movida
Part I
M-F. 10-14 | 16.30-20.30
Galería Guillermo de Osma presents in this exhibition an extensive survey of figurative art in 1980s Madrid through nearly one hundred works by some of the leading artists of the time, continuing the gallery’s ongoing review of figurative movements since the 1960s.
Curated by Mariano Navarro, the exhibition explores the art produced during the years of the Movida, a period of vibrant creative flourishing and freedom across all cultural fields. Divided into six sections, the show begins by examining the early signs of this period in the 1970s and concludes with a living testimony of the era through the photographers who immortalized the “fauna and flora” of the time, also addressing themes of mythology and irreverence—key elements for the artists of those years.
Featuring works by Carlos Alcolea, Chema Cobo, Alfonso Albacete, Patricia Gadea, Sigfrido Martín Begué, Guillermo Pérez Villalta, Belén Franco, Juan Ugalde, Costus, Miguel Ángel Campano, Rafael Pérez Mínguez, Eduardo Momeñe, Alberto García-Alix, and Ouka Leele, among many others.
The exhibition will be presented in two consecutive parts: Part I, from February 10 to April 10, and Part II, from April 20 to June 19.
The catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition includes texts by curator Mariano Navarro, as well as contributions by Virginia Torrente, Pablo Sycet, and Ciuco Gutiérrez, and an unpublished interview with Alaska by Rafa Cervera.
