Bombon Projects

Bombon Projects is a contemporary art gallery that opened in Barcelona in February 2017. It was preceded for 5 years (2012 - 2017) by a project-space.

The gallery is interested in local and international artistic practices that reflect a contemporary social and emotional sensibility, as well as in the claim of artists from previous generations. This translates into the exhibition programme, where the work of young artists has been combined with historical figures. The programme includes exhibitions in the gallery space, off-site projects and fairs.

Represented artists:

Anna Dot, Mari Eastman, Joana Escoval, Eva Fàbregas, Enric Farrés Duran, Lara Fluxà, Josep Maynou, Jordi Mitjà, Pere Llobera, Aldo Urbano, Rosa Tharrats, Ludovica Carbotta

The exhibition presents an installation of sculptures by Eva Fàbregas (Barcelona, 1988) made of materials that are mostly non-organic. Over time, however, her techniques and knowledge of flexible and elastic matter have almost invented a substance that allows her to create tension and volume in unprecedented forms.

The idea of tension is intensified by the texture of the sculptures: the skin of the works appears cracked, almost eroded, resembling a dense network of blood vessels, forming a surface similar to visceral tissue. For a moment, we wonder if they belong to the space where they are with us—or if they escaped a body and landed in space after numerous adventures. Looking at them, we know that we do not belong to the same realm. They belong to the interior, while the gallery space—and we—are in a dimension that we can call “exterior” or public.
