XAVIER MEDINA CAMPENY (Barcelona, 1943). Untitled. Sculpture in bronze, copy 4/5. Signed and justified on the base. With seal of Fundición Artística Vila. Measurements: 51 x 65 x 37 cm. From the beginning of the seventies date a series of pieces of Medina Campeny whose theme is the human head, focused from multiple points of view, submitting it to modifications. Xavier Medina Campeny, grandson of the sculptor Josep Campeny and great-grandson of Damià Campeny, is a sculptor of self-taught training, who evolved his artistic mood towards a very personal style. He began studying architecture in Barcelona, but abandoned his studies to start in the world of sculpture. It was during this period that he dedicated himself to this art, with a self-taught training. His long artistic career as a sculptor has led him to work with various techniques and materials. As for his first exhibition, he made it in 1964. After ten years he moved to New York, where he created most of his artistic production. After a few years he returned to Spain to stay. His style is closely related to the avant-garde, more specifically with Dadaism. His mastery of drawing has also helped him to relate organic elements with geometric forms. During the years 1975 to 1989, he developed a plastic language of the human body, being a mixture of the anatomical with geometry, which he himself called "fragmentations". At the time of making these bodies, Medina crumbles, divides and geometrizes the parts of the human body to later rejoin them, in order to highlight some parts that he leaves empty. The work Conversación (1979) reflects and tells us about the contrast between the absent and the present. On the other hand, the work The mirror in Atlantic Ocean, balances the form with the background and works the body without fragmenting it. Medina's work can be related to surrealist proposals. For example, in the group Mimetismo animal (Animal mimicry), human attitudes with ironic expressions can be seen in the animals. Since 2003 there has been a change in the artist's style with respect to the human body, in which he simplifies the forms and transforms them into elongated cylinders that for him are "pieces" with a symbolic meaning. Medina and Campeny's works have been exhibited both in Europe and America, where he has several works in museums and important institutions, such as: Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, MACBA in Barcelona, Pagani Foundation in Legnano, Italy, Everson Museum in Syracuse (USA), Jimmy Carter Library & Museum in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), Bears Foundation in New York (USA), North Carolina Museum of Art (USA), among others.

MIGUEL MACAYA (Santander,1964). "Bullfighter", 1992. Mixed media on paper. Signed. Size: 58 x 50 cm; 86 x 79 cm (frame). A nationally and internationally recognised painter, Miguel Macaya made his individual debut in 1986 in his native city, with an exhibition held in the Pancho Cossío gallery. Two years later he presented his work in the Cartoon gallery in Barcelona, and in the nineties he began to hold exhibitions in Madrid: Jorge Albero gallery in 1994 and 1997, Nolde in 1996 and 1999, etc. He made the international leap in 1999 with a solo exhibition held at the Arcturus gallery in Paris, and the following year he presented his work at the prestigious Sala Parés in Barcelona, a gallery with which he has collaborated since then. He continues to exhibit regularly as a solo artist in Spain and France, as well as in the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom. He has also participated in fairs such as Antica Namur in Belgium, Strasbourg (both in 2014), Arco in Madrid (2001), Art London in the British capital (2008) and Art Madrid (2011-2015), among others. In parallel, since 1992 he has taken part in important national and international group exhibitions. The first was held by the Delfina Studio Trust in London in 1992, and he has subsequently taken part in other important exhibitions such as those held at the Design Center de la Recoleta in Buenos Aires (1998), the Fundació Vila Casas in Barcelona (1999), the Vieleers gallery in Amsterdam (2003), etc. Macaya's work possesses an intense and dark expressiveness, as well as a Goyaesque vein that is particularly evident in his bullfighting works. In this sense, the critic Enrique Lynch wrote that his painting "points the eye towards the sublime precisely because, without renouncing the light, it directs us towards the dark side of vision: towards what we cannot (or do not want to) see, the unknown background to which his characters turn their backs on us". It is a work, in any case, that plays at mystery, at the game of revealing only part of the chiaroscuro, at suggesting questions to the spectator. Miguel Macaya is currently represented at the Fundació Vila Casas, and has been awarded the First Prize for Young Painting by the Fundació Banc de Sabadell-Sala Parés (2001).
