Ten artists from Ávila show their works in painting and sculpture in an exhibition that comes from the Fundación Ávila and will be open at the Palacio de los Serrano until June 25.
The exhibition, which is presented under the name of ‘Avila Artists’, collects the work of ten women, through almost thirty works. These are the works of Amaya Corbacho, Ana García, Ana María García, Violeta García, María Gómez, Elena González, Belén Palomo, Irene Palud, María Teresa Romero and Gloria Sáez.
At the opening of the exhibition, the president of the Ávila Foundation, Dolores Ruiz-Ayúcar, was in charge of welcoming and showing her satisfaction at being able to exhibit this exhibition, which was planned for before the pandemic but had to be delayed. She marked as a “milestone” having managed to unite these women and form the sample.
Its curator, Miguel Ángel Espí, highlighted that the work done by women from Ávila is shown, where very different styles are also brought together. The movements represented range from realism to figuration and from constructivism to abstraction. It is a “dynamic and entertaining” exhibition, which is made up of 22 paintings and six small-format sculptures. In it you can see different techniques such as oil, graphite, plaster or bronze in that combination of painting and sculpture.
Representing the artists, Elena González stressed that lately in Ávila there have been no events to see art “at street level” so she demanded possibilities for the artists, that they have a place to express themselves and get closer to people.
In this case there is a majority of female painters but there is also a presence of sculpture, which needs more space «and sometimes a little is forgotten». This exhibition comes after a long road that has finally been “fruitful” and is now ready so that the exhibition can be enjoyed by all who come to see it.
The exhibition can be visited until June 25, from Monday to Saturday, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. On Sundays and holidays it is closed and admission is free.
