ARTE SANTANDER 2024

This year we are participating in the Santander Art Fair in Santander, Cantabria, with the most recent works of Nika Fontaine from her series “Dissolution” and with Mauricio Limon de Leon, “Homenajes” and “Instituto deportivo Santa Cruz” and “Memoria cartografíca del saber popular V” made for the institutional exhibition “El primero que ria” Paris, Madrid, Düsseldorf, (2020-2023).

Nika Fontaine’s “Dissolution” series are the second part of her research on the history of alchemy. In this series she dissolves the layers of pigment in organic glue to reveal the underlying layers. She then adds oil paint to seal the surface and enrich the details and colors.

Nika says it is a process of addition, subtraction, and enhancement.

 It is like the refinement of the self, the inner work. Life builds up layers of identity, with inner work we remove the shells and reveal the truths, then beautify and enhance what is to be held and nurtured.

We are excited to have placed a work Mauricio Limon into the Coleccion Norte, the official collection of Cantabria.
