Fousion Gallery is pleased to present a compilation of its latest art pieces at Urvanity Art 2021.

The International Art Fair dedicated to the New Contemporary Art movements arrives once more in Madrid in its 5th edition. It brings together more than 25 international art galleries at COAM (Colegio Oficial Arquitectos de Madrid), a unique space right at the center of the Spanish capital, at Chueca district, well known due to its cosmopolitan, vivid and vibrant ambiance; the perfect location for a very particular exhibit where artistic movements born in urban contexts are the protagonists.

We are delighted to physically invite you to Urvanity Art 2021 for you to finally un-virtualize the worlds of Pop Surrealism and Urban Art. After a long time in tumultuous global circumstances, we are finally able to present to the public the latest works by 10 artists represented by Fousion Gallery at a life Art Fair in a fine selection of fresh, astounding works.

At booth 22 at Urvanity Art 2021 you will sneak onto the cosmic enigmas inhabited by mystical omens from Peca and the inner worlds located in a distant-logic universe created by Bruno Pontiroli. You will meet hybrid creatures from a different time in a hereafter past materialized by Mono Cieza and be able to perceive the captivating secrets of Miss Van’s sensual muses and the inner reflections of the creatures from the arid landscapes of Dilka Bear while Victor Castillo’s merry-go-round relocates you to his childhood dreams … or nightmares.

From the abstracted figures in decomposed landscapes from Alberto de Blobs to Phil Aschcroft’s sharp and harsh compositions to the misty, evoking abstract graffiti by O.Two contrasted with the abstract figuration of Will Barras, sometimes contraposed even in the same canvas in collaborative work.

Bruno Pontiroli

Bruno Pontiroli creates mind-bending explorations of the relationship between humans and animals. From his dreamlike visions, he conjures up surreal and fantastic universes, where centaurs cut off the head of half-human half-horse creatures, over-eager men can embrace large walrus or jump on twisted giraffes and dromedaries fit their cubic-shaped humps into each other. A poetic and absurd ability to make the impossible happen, while a hippopotamus is standing on his tongue...

Alberto de Blobs

Alberto de Blobs, born in 1982 started his career as a painter at the young age of 12, writing graffiti in Barcelona. From wild style letter painting, his style gradually evolved towards today's elaborate mixture of figurative and free form abstraction. With its open muralist approach, de Blobs' highly illustrative visual language combines references to his subcultural roots and art historical predecessors alike and with ease. Merging all types of influences, genres and styles, Blobs forged a brilliant outlook on creativity which is presented through his search for new experiences. This newly-made reality escapes all conventions and breaks free from links to any particular aesthetic trend.
