It’s Christmas in TAMARA KREISLER Gallery and it’s not just any Christmas, it’s the first Christmas that I celebrate with a physical gallery in Madrid which makes it very special for me. To celebrate it I have prepared a unique exhibition for you, full of beautiful works that I’m sure you will love. I have allowed myself a little wink of humor and put a K for Christmas in English, so the exhibition is called KREISLER KHRISTMAS.
My idea is to organize a group show every Christmas to make it easier to have an artistic alternative as a Christmas gift and I thought that the best way to look for quality proposals was to pay tribute to the artists who have worked for so many years in the family gallery and whose works decorate my house and my memories.
It has not been easy to choose only six artists and I would like that little by little, all of them participate in this Christmas exhibition and come back to our lives like turron at Christmas 😉 So for this first Christmas I have counted with works by: Gerard Fernández Rico, Norberto González, Jesús Velayos, Juan Díaz, Pep Fajardo and Carmen Otero, who bring us works of various sizes and prices for all audiences and pockets.
Gerard Fernández-Rico
Over the years he has experimented in his works with different materials from our everyday environment such as industrial and construction materials, reformulating them through manipulation, intervention or their arrangement, bringing us several unique works of art of great technique and beauty.
One of the best representatives of contemporary Spanish realism, on this occasion he brings us urban landscapes, somewhat decadent, of ghostly cities with an extraordinary technique and imagination.
The simplicity of his landscapes connect us with nature in his magnificent way of using soft, almost transparent colors that give us a poetic and evocative impression of natural spaces. I have to confess that I am fascinated by their palm trees.
His elegant watercolors, of great beauty and technique. Juan paints landscapes, clouds, beaches, which are much more than a landscape, transporting us to spaces where reality is essence, is smoke, is mist, is light, is immensity, making his works magnificent.
The “peculiar heads” representing warriors’ helmets and breastplates that remain impassive in the face of a changing world, inviting us to keep our balance and reminding us that within us remain intact the most genuine traces of the human being.
