This exhibition presents the drawings of 23 artists from various parts of Spain. These artists approach their work from different backgrounds and distinctive ways of understanding the medium, using the simplest and rudimentary techniques to the latest technologies. Together, these artists give us a profound sense of the heterogeneity of current Spanish drawing. Perhaps in the future we will witness the regeneration of drawing as an autonomous discipline. After all, the line is the base, the origin, the frame behind the visual experience. Explore and discover one of the most rigorous and underestimated arts. Let’s not spend another single day without a line or, failing that, let’s spend at least one day discovering its infinite treasures. This exhibition was curated by Blanca Soto and will run from May 18, 2011 to July 6, 2011.
