Vicky Gómez, artist of the month of July, awaits you at our next inauguration!

Multidisciplinary artist, with studies in various artistic modalities, from fashion design to ceramics, narrative or illustration. From 2000, when he began his training in the ceramic field, he also began his professional career in the artistic field. He has always been committed to solidarity and environmental initiatives, in 2014 he began to incorporate this concern into his ceramic work with issues related to nature, but it was not until 2017 that he found an artistic line with which he identified to devote himself entirely, the issues of social denunciation, immigration, segregation, evictions, mistreatment. and a whole list of human injustices that anger him.

In the field of craftsmanship, to which it is dedicated professionally, this concern is also reflected and since 2018 it creates a new brand and line of work, “TRANSFORM-ART” based on the recovery of waste, creating small unique and functional works of art from the recycling of antique furniture and objects recovered as well as clothes. Making obsolete or rejection objects have a new life and new functionality. He has participated in several collective exhibitions and art festivals. Finalist of the Agbar Award 2021

SNAPSHOT

Instantànies is a collection of images, instants, briefs, captured between the fleeting frames that pass every day in front of our eyes. Windows in the world that if we enter it makes us aware of the magnitude and depth of a drama of infinite dimensions. Things that never change, people who always suffer but who fight with the only weapon they have left: dignity and perhaps hope.

Sculptures that combine poetry, ceramics, iron, recycled objects or waste material, which we can look through a frame and see them pass as photographs that we will not see again, or look further and reflect.

If looking at these “snapshots”, or listening to my poems, you feel anguish, anxiety, anxiety or indignation, or, even hope, the world may or “Tal vez” is not in danger of extinction

1. Time Slaves
2. Life drops

In a world increasingly aware of the need for environmental sustainability, a new artistic movement has emerged that takes advantage of the power of recycled and reused materials. This summer, Barcelona’s art enthusiasts will have the opportunity to experience this innovative approach to art at RE-ART: Sustainable Art Exhibition (RE-ART: Exhibition of Sustainable Art) by CASA SEAT.

Opened on 10 July and until 7 September, the RE-ART exhibition will show the work of 15 pioneering sustainable artists who have made the recovery, reuse and recycling of materials the ethical and aesthetic basis of their practice. From renowned figures such as HA Schult and Modest Cuixart to emerging talents such as 3-DKE, Àlex Cardona and Nourathar Studio, the exhibition presents a variety of artistic perspectives united by a shared commitment to raise awareness of environmental and social issues.

“RE-ART is not just an exhibition, but an experience that invites visitors to reconsider the value of rejected materials and the impact of our daily actions,” the organizers explain. By transforming everyday waste into works of art that provoke reflection, these sustainable artists challenge us to rethink our relationship with the objects that surround us and the consequences of our consumption patterns.

Visitors to the CASA SEAT space will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the creative process, discovering how these artists have taken advantage of techniques such as recovery, reuse and recycling to elaborate their unique visions. From large-scale installations to complicated sculptures, the exhibition promises to inspire and compromise, offering a vision of a future where art and sustainability go hand in hand.

Do not miss the opportunity to be part of this transformative journey. Admission to the RE-ART exhibition is free during CASA SEAT’s usual opening hours. Discover how the power of art can help to remodel our collective consciousness and build a more sustainable world.
