CONTEMPORARY ART IN MALLORCA
A Family Affair is an extraordinary art exhibition celebrating the intergenerational artistic dialogue between Danish artist Lin Utzon, based in Mallorca, and her children, Naja Utzon Popov (Copenhagen) and Mika Utzon Popov (Sydney).
The exhibition, held at the prestigious CCA Andratx art center in Mallorca, brings together three distinct yet connected bodies of work under the themes of Eternity, Terra, and Domus Meus, showcasing the aesthetic sensibilities and intertwined narratives of a family deeply connected to art, nature, and the island of Mallorca. This exhibition not only celebrates the artistic individuality of each of them but also explores the ties that bind them across countries, materials, and generations.
