CARMELA GARCÍA (Lanzarote, 1964). "Women", 2000. Photograph. Provenance: Important Spanish Collection. Size: 130 x 150 cm. As a central element of her works, in "Women" Carmela Garcia presents us with the need to rethink the world from a gender perspective which does not only imply the possibility of a different future, but also means in the first instance, a scenario of vindication around the consideration of the feminine where, in the words of the artist, it is necessary "A kind of deconstruction of what patriarchal society has established about what women are and should be, and a reconstruction of a feminist ideal of the world, where they are liberated from constraints". In this case, the powerful symbolism of the image with the iconic Barbie doll subjected to the scorching fire of a kitchen cooker directly questions the spectator in relation to the role in which women have traditionally been pigeonholed in a pejorative way, at the same time as it launches a message about the need to put an end to the dictatorship of beauty canons that are increasingly disconnected and distant from the reality of women. Born in Lanzarote in 1964. Carmela Garcia began her studies of photography in Madrid and Barcelona, until 1998, when she began to show her work to the public. From the beginning, she has combined her social interests in photography, through literary, plastic and audiovisual references, creating an artistic corpus about the stereotyped image of women in society and the need to rethink and reformulate their role in the world. After producing series as representative as "Chicas, deseos y ficción" or "Constelación", Garcia was selected in 2005 among the hundred best Spanish photographers in the list elaborated by Exit, something that confirmed the tendency of growing importance in the works elaborated in the last years. In recent years she has been working on video works to revise various stereotyped images of women. She has become the most recognised Canarian artist of the last decade thanks to a profoundly feminist discourse, through which she represents an idealised world where men are absent and women remain outside the traditional male gaze. Her work has been shown at the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid (Espacio Uno), the Centro de Fotografía de Coímbra, the MUSAC in León, the Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno CAAM in Gran Canaria, the IVAM in Valencia, in the group exhibition El real viaje Real /The Real Royal Tryp at PS1, Contemporary Art Center at MOMA (New York) curated by Harald Szeemann,3 at the MOT Kanazawa in Japan, the University of Salamanca and the European House of Photography in Paris, among others.4567. He has exhibited at the Juana de Aizpuru galleries in Seville and Madrid, and in 2003 at the Altamira Gallery in Gijón.8910 Together with the Juana de Aizpuru gallery, he has attended international fairs such as Arco Madrid, Art Basel, Paris Photo, Frieze London, etc.

URBANO LUGRÍS GONZÁLEZ (La Coruña, 1908-1973). "In the light of the moon", 1965. Ink on paper. With poem by the artist. Size: 44 x 33 cm; 64 x 53 cm (frame). Urbano Lugris began his artistic training under the influence of Nacho Viéitez, a man whose purpose was to encourage the practice of painting in the new generations. He abandoned his studies as a mercantile expert in La Coruña to move to Madrid in 1930, where he joined the Pedagogical Missions, with which he toured several Spanish cities designing costumes and sets for the theater La Barraca. During this period he met Federico García Lorca and Rafael Alberti. During the civil war he participated as a volunteer in the Republican army, going to the front of Asturias. After the end of the war in 1954 he founded in La Coruña the magazine Atlántida, with his friends Mariano Tudela and José Mª de Labra, in which he actively participated, writing articles and poems, as well as numerous illustrations and designing the front cover. In 1965 he moved to Vigo where he died on December 23, 1973. In 1997 the largest exhibition dedicated to Urbano Lugrís, curated by Rosario Sarmiento and Antón Patiño, was held at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid and at the Auditorio de Galicia in Santiago de Compostela. On the occasion of this exhibition, an important book-catalog of the exhibition was published, as well as a facsimile of the magazine Atlántida. In 2007 the book by Antón Patiño Urbano Lugrís, "Viaje al corazón del océano" (Journey to the heart of the ocean) was published. Lugrís was an almost self-taught painter whose pictorial work reflects a predilection for marine themes, portrayed with an atmosphere of dreamlike and idealized character. His pictures are almost always painted on board in small and medium formats. He was influenced by his godfather, the writer Francisco Tettamancy y Gastón and by concepts of Italian metaphysical painting, especially Carrá and Chirico, and French surrealism, the paintings of Tanguy and Magritte. Some authors wanted to relate him to Dalí, based on the use of blue as the main color in his paintings, but this detail is not taken from the Catalan, but from Platinir.
