Galería Alegría

Alberto Peral García (Santurce, 1966), graduated in Fine Arts at the UPV (University of the Basque Country), he belongs to the generation of artists developed in the early nineties around the effervescence of the Arteleku Art Center. Subsequently, he spent a year at the Spanish Academy in Rome and currently lives and works in Barcelona.   

He incorporates into his language the contributions of the classical avant-garde with respect to form, in a process of continuous formal rediscovery. His simple and essential forms thus find the symbolic power they contain. Shapes, circularity, rotation, light, color, the surface of materials and the dialogue/modification of the space are fundamental elements with which he constructs his poetic of the form and his spatio-temporal sense.   

Throughout his career, his works have been exhibited in numerous renowned art centers - such as the Reina Sofía, Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin) or the Hamburger Bahnhof (Berlin) -, as well as included in many important contemporary art collections - such as the Reina Sofía, la Caixa, MACBA, Museo Nacional Patio Herreriano and Tecla Sala among others.

Luis Bisbe de la Fuente (Málaga, 1965) holds a Degree and a PhD in Fine Arts from the UB (University of Barcelona). In the first years of 2000 he lived abroad in the UK, France and Nederland thanks to scholarships, awards and art residencies. Currently he lives and works in Barcelona.

Most of Luis Bisbe's work is directly related to where he is. He is interested in directly intervening on the perception of the space around us, using the exhibition space as a sort of material with which to operate and interact. The technique he uses is ever-changing and determined in each case by the idea. He usually works with everyday objects. Being a keen observer of the paradoxes that occur in everyday life, he is olen fascinated by contradictory messages, involuntary ironies and dysfunctional objects, which he slightly displace so to destabilize the perception of things while trying to clean them off of their artistic aura and generating situations of strangeness.
