CONTEMPORARY ART IN MALLORCA
CONTEMPORARY ART IN MALLORCA
Project curated by TOMEU SIMONET, artist and independent curator.
Participating artists:
MAÍLLO (Madrid, 1985)
ADRÍAN MARTINEZ (Ibiza, 1984)
ALBERT PINYA ( Palma, 1985)
“UDOL” brings together the work of 3 artists, Albert Pinya, Maíllo, and Adrián Martínez, the 3 belonging to
the same generation, born in the mid-80s and with very personal artistic languages through which
they express a certain subversion towards what is established. Through their pictorial work,
with a certain punk attitude, and always experimenting, in a continuous search that aims to generate
reflection in the viewer.
Three artists with an already extensive and recognized career, who share not only a generation, but also a bold and personal approach to their art. They seek through their work to challenge the conventional and provoke reflection in those who observe it. This punk attitude and their constant experimentation certainly bring a unique energy to their work and to the exhibition as a whole. A special interest in bringing pictorial practice to other supports is also evident in this exhibition, in an interest in experimentation and innovation, both in terms of language and in the support itself. Research in textiles, ceramics and other materials enriches their artistic work and makes this a unique exhibition. By combining different techniques and media, these artists can explore new textures, shapes and concepts. In addition, each support has its own history and characteristics, something that undoubtedly influences their creative process. In “UDOL” painting is understood as a means of expression and transformation at a cultural, political and social level.
