The exhibition space, MYA Gallery in London, has decided to take a shot at urban art with a largely Spanish denomination with the exhibition, ‘Kaleidoscope’. Zosen, Okuda, Felipe Pantone, Nuria Mora, Kenor, Murone, Btoy, Txemy, Pez, Dems, Uriginal and Spok are the players who make up this national team’s diverse line up and they’re prepared to play on english soil. With the objective to represent the stylistic variety of contemporary street art while at the same time reflecting the creative richness of Iberian artists and their historical heritage, these 12 characters represent a geographic, technical, and conceptual variety that will manifest itself with a display of new and original works of art.
Alongside the exhibition, MYA will present a collection of photographs from the artists as evidence of the impact their public productions have caused in their original locations. In addition, a roundtable talk will be held which will give viewers the opportunity to discuss the collection as well as interact with the artists.
‘Spain has always enjoyed a unique position in relation to modern art history. Through the innovation of Masters such as Goya, Picasso, Dali and Miro, to name but a few, the region and culture has earned a reputation as truly rebellious, striving to carve out its own identity as a breeding ground for the avant-garde, breaking away from the ruling Parisian Salons of their day.
MYA aims to bring together an innovative and highly influential group of contemporary artists from all corners of Spain in one exhibition, illustrating the pure talent that has developed from this unique culture.’
Exhibition from 20th February till 3d April 2014.
