MINA HAMADA’s project for LA ROCA VILLAGE: ‘Un Paseo Colorido’

Posted on by SEO Senda

The artist based in Barcelona has just presented a new series of sculptures in the shopping center La Roca Village. The collection represents a novelty for the artist who usually works on large-scale public murals.

Striking sculptures by American-born Japanese artist Mina Hamada dot the streets of the space. In June, the creator inaugurated a project conceived together with La Roca Village and the gallery LAB36. The idea behind Colorful Walk, conceived ex profeso for that place, is to support local talent.

Three colorful geometric sculptures and a set of hanging wooden mobiles can now be seen at the entrance of La Roca Village. A final three meter tall sculpture will be installed later this summer. Mina talks about her work process, her iconic style and how she approaches a new medium.

Hamada transmits its good vibrations through its free and organic forms, in a style characterized by color, rhythm and improvisation. Although it is mostly known for its mural art of enormous dimensions, the artist explores other formats such as canvas or sculpture without abandoning the artistic language that identifies her. You can currently enjoy his circular and rectangular canvases in an individual exhibition that he has done for the gallery LAB36 titled Transition.

The La Roca Village project began to take shape in 2021 and, after several meetings, Hamada and the team created for the occasion, chose to develop strong>works with volume. The artist, who has worked in various disciplines, from paintings to murals or work on paper, is the first time that she has developed such large works in three dimensions:

“It’s a new challenge for me. With Paseo Colorido I can bring people closer to my work and make them interact with it.”

Hamada’s proposal is articulated through three groups of sculptures: Dream Passage, with large-scale works (300 x 200 x 150 cm) ; Summer whims, which are three small format pieces; and Aerial landscape, a mobile installation. The artist is excited about the opportunity to give volume to her creations, because “they look like characters that come out of my paintings and have a soul.”

ZUSH at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Of Ibiza

Posted on by SEO Senda

From June 3 to November 30, 2022 | Museum of Contemporary Art of Ibiza
Curators: Enrique Juncosa, Xavier de Luca (Fundación Suñol) & Elena Ruiz.

Collaborator Galeria SENDA

The Councilor for Culture of the Eivissa City Council and president of the Board of Trustees of the Eivissa Museum of Contemporary Art, Pep Tur, the director of the Eivissa Museum of Contemporary Art, Elena Ruiz, and the artist Zush have presented the exhibition “Zush en Eivissa” which was inaugurated on Friday, June 3 at 7:00 p.m. and will remain on display until November 30, 2022.

The Councilor for Culture and President of the Board of Trustees of the Pep Tur Museum of Contemporary Art has stated that:

“Zush is one of the essential artists to understand the evolution of Spanish art in the 70s and 80s mainly. We are lucky that a large part of this production was made on the island of Eivissa. Getting a part of it together makes it one of the most important exhibitions of the season, not only in Ibiza or the Balearic Islands, but throughout the country. This exhibition demonstrates the increasingly ascending line that MACE has had in recent years.“

The exhibition focuses on the period between 1968 and 1983 in which Zush resided on the island of Ibiza, a period that became a moment of intense creativity for the artist, who experimented with very diverse formats and techniques, such as fluorescent painting illuminated by black light. This exuberant diversity of artistic proposals will be reflected in an exhibition that will present more than a hundred works, some seventy from the Suñol Soler Collection, which will be exhibited in the Arms Hall of the Ibizan museum.

The artist Zush has stated that: “ The works that can be seen in this exhibition correspond to the period of 18 years that he lived on the island. He has also added that what gives him the most joy is thinking that his works give people joy. “

The curator of the exhibition, Enrique Juncosa, has highlighted that Zush is an artist who:

“Has known how to create an inner world, creating characters and turning them into myths; He is a pioneering and current artist, as is the study of identity, his relationship with drawing, collaborations with other artists, his relationship with electronic music, and he is an advanced figure in the artistic currents of surrealism and pop art.”
