F2 Galeria

We are firmly committed to the gallery’s physical space as the ideal place to showcase our artists’ work. We also see the gallery as a meeting point for the public, artists and everyone involved in the art world; we firmly believe that the gallery is a space where dialogue and critical thought are generated.

From the moment you proposed the collaboration, we knew that the presentation of the works in that space had to be handled with great care, making the most of the contrast between the architecture and décor and Álvaro Negro’s much more understated work. It is a contrast that has worked perfectly, allowing the works to coexist with both the building and the products in the store.

I would highlight two strands: one more architectural, represented by the diptych S/T (retablo blanco axis negro), whose geometry interacts with the fireplace’s organic decoration. Then there is a more pictorial strand that blends into the building in a more understated way, as seen in the axis created by Urda and Areallo in the room overlooking Passeig de Gràcia. In this case, we were very interested in seeing how the works responded to the changing natural light entering through the balconies. We felt as if the paintings had been installed there forever.
