Klas Ernflo
An ode to the beauty and simplicity of objects
His closeness to nature while growing up in Sweden is clearly represented in his work, which constantly depicts plants and animals as ordinary "objects". Another recurring subject are everyday objects and garments, which he approaches with a fresh and dynamic organicism, much more characteristic of nature.
Retículas (6 arquetipos). Francesc Català-Roca y Sílvia Martínez Palou
For this show, Martínez Palou displays a set of original pieces and Neoseries that stem from her interest in emblematic buildings in Barcelona – such as Mitre or Seida – raised during the XX century. From another formal perspective, the photographer’s eye offers a precise portrait of Barcelona during the fifties, where the building emanated that rationalist aesthetic through a radical volumetry and austerity when selecting materials. This dialogue between the oeuvre of Catalá-Roca and Martínez depicts the brutalist and urban landscape of a postwar city like Barcelona that deeply desired becoming modern.
