Alzueta Gallery Sèneca – Main Gallery

The main goal of Alzueta Gallery is to represent the time in which it lives. To be the creative reflection that unites the will, the works and the desires, of the contemporary creators that it represents. Young, emerging and consolidated artists, Spanish and foreign artists, all of them united by one criteria, the eye of an aesthetic that tries to transgress the first and subtle layer of the form, to reach deeper places, where the ethic is the main purpose of art.

With an international vocation, Alzueta Gallery is present on all five continents, through Art Fairs, Collectors, Art Advisors, Digital platforms, and more, all this in order to make the gallery and its ethics to reach from Barcelona as many viewers as possible.

Alzueta Gallery is committed to modernity, to radicalism, to transformation, to ideas and to the politics of change, to everything that, from art, can improve people’s lives.
The gallery also presents its projects in the Palau de Casavells, a space of its own in the heart of the Empordà countryside, in a 16th century farmhouse, an unusual setting for its contemporary proposals.

Along with the gallery spaces, it has also launched an artist residency programme to support the creativity and the work of the contemporary artists of our time.

Ivan Franco‘s Solo Exhibition “One and three Polaroids” brings together a selection of drawings, paintings and photographs by the artists from very small format to big scale pieces that intend to blur the lines that divide each media.

The main idea behind the exhibition is to dive into the space that exists between the pictorial and the photographic; to transit through the line that shapes the border, the limit, between the two media.
And by identifying this space, by inhabiting it and recognizing it, the intention is to overlap other concepts that coexist antagonistically, such as reality-fiction or presence-absence.
By blurring these boundaries, the onlooker is invited to question the appearance of the images from their structure. To question what they perceive in them. Whether the simulacrum was ever more reality than fiction or a portrait specifies more an absence than a presence.
