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.

PIERRE GONNORD (France, 1963). "Soho", from the series "City", New York, 2001. Photograph, copy 1/5. Signed, dated, numbered, titled and located on the back. With label on the back of the Juana de Aizpuru Gallery. Measurements: 150 x 150 cm. Considered one of the most talented photographers of recent times, Pierre Gonnord imbues his work with a melancholic and heartbreaking aura that "narrates, under the skin, singular and unusual stories about our times", according to the critic Rafael Doctor. His portraits, reminiscent of the great masters of art history such as Rembradt, Veermer, Caravaggio, Goya, Zurbarán and Velázquez, focus on the outcasts of society and their stories. In his works we find vagrants, mentally ill people, prisoners and the blind, but also monks, geishas and members of urban gangs, i.e. people who also remain on the fringes of their society in a different way. A prominent French photographer born in Cholet, Pierre Gonnord has lived in Madrid since 1988, and currently works in collaboration with the prestigious Juana de Aizpuru gallery. A self-taught artist and winner of the 2007 Community of Madrid Culture Prize, in 1998 Gonnord began a personal project, which defines his mature language, centred on the human face. The first series in this new style were "Interiors" (Madrid, 1999) and "City" (New York, 2001), derived from his own urban experience. Later he will make new series, already with characters of different ethnicities: "Regards" (2002-2003), "Far East" (Japan, 2003) and "Utopians" (2004-2005). In these last series, Gonnord approaches characters marginalised by society, portraying them in close-ups. In his latest series, "Witnesses", he has approached the world of the gypsies and the people who have lived through the tragedies of the Balkans and North Africa. Throughout his career, Gonnord has held exhibitions of his work in Spain, France and the United States, among other countries, both in galleries and in museums and art centres, including the Centro Cultural Conde Duque in Madrid, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville, the University of Salamanca, the Atelier des Forges in Arles, the FRAC of Auvergne-Ecuries in Chazerat and the photographic festivals of Helsinki and Oslo. Today he is mainly represented in the Juana de Aizpuru gallery, but his work can also be found in other important collections, such as that of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.

Eladio de Mora is one of the great representatives of Spanish contemporary art, Eladio de Mora discovered his artistic vocation as a child. Fundamentally self-taught artist, he develops a work that could be placed halfway between pop and expressionism. His creations are characterized by simplified features and pure colors, and are made in materials such as plastic, polyester and some resins. Under the almost childish appearance of his works, sometimes critical meanings are hidden; he confesses to seek in his works the balance between rigor and smile. Some of his best known pieces are his series of bears, ducks, divers and meninas. In fact, his sculptures are usually grouped in families, so that the repetition intensifies the impact. Also, most of his sculptures are placed outdoors, since Mora seeks above all a direct relationship with the public. He began to make himself known through group exhibitions at the beginning of the 21st century, and in 2002 he held his first solo exhibitions, both in Spain (Azteca and Séller galleries in Madrid, Espacio Líquido in Gijón) and abroad (Heyd gallery in Hildritzhausen, Germany). Since then his presence will be constant in the art scene; he will continue to exhibit individually, and also taking part in art fairs and group shows. In recent years he has shown his work in personal exhibitions held in prominent Spanish and foreign art galleries and centers, among them the Jorge Ontiveros Gallery in Madrid, the Drissien Gallery in Munich, the Florencio de la Fuente Museum in Valencia, the Contemporary Art Museum in Malaga, the Juan Ismael Art Center in Madrid, the Juan Ismael Art Center in Madrid, the Juan Ismael Art Center in Madrid, the Drissien Gallery in Munich, and the Florencio de la Fuente Museum in Valencia, the Centro de Arte Juan Ismael in Fuerteventura, the Espacio para el Arte Caja Madrid, the Hotel Urban and the Centro de Arte Moderno also in Madrid, the IVAM in Valencia, the Museo MACAY in Mexico, the gallery Los Oficios and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Havana, the Museo Arterra in Vienna and the Fundación Antonio Pérez in Cuenca. He has also participated in important group exhibitions in Spain, Mexico, Italy, Portugal and Germany. It is also worth mentioning Mora's important work as a designer of trophies, among them the "Women Together" in New York, the "Master Senior Comunidad de Madrid" or the "Protagonistas del motor de El Mundo". Throughout his career he has received the "Getafe Ciudad de las Artes" (Madrid, 2005) and "Aura" (Toledo, 2007) awards, and has created monuments and installations in Madrid, Logroño, Havana, Vienna, Gijón, Málaga and Valencia, among other cities. Mora is currently represented at the IVAM in Valencia, the Arterra Museum in Vienna, the Museum of Contemporary Art Domus Artium in Salamanca, the Museum of Glass Art in Alcorcón, the Museum of Fine Arts in Havana, the Museum of Graphic Work of San Clemente in Cuenca, the Antonio Pérez Foundation, the Antonio Saura Foundation and Coca-Cola, the Coca-Cola Foundation, Antonio Saura and Coca-Cola Foundations, the Provincial Councils of Cuenca and Guadalajara, several municipalities of Madrid and Toledo, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Community of Madrid, and the Contemporary Art Collection of "El Mundo", among many other public and private collections.
