Show directions
With the intention of reflecting the Zeitgeist of our times, the Fousion Finest exhibition proposes a journey to the New Contemporary Art through a selection of pieces halfway between pop surrealism, science fiction and abstract urban art. 

Most of the pieces will be exhibited for the first time in Barcelona. Some of them are large-format works, the emblematic Royal Artistic Circle of Barcelona (RCAB), seems like the ideal location, right by the cathedral, inside a palace from the 15th and 16th centuries and on the other hand for having respected the historical architecture in their exhibition space.

This adaptation of the partially Gothic building to our time serves as a common thread since the chosen artworks for the exhibition also nourishes from traditional artistic techniques, adding futuristic elements and thus escaping beyond the time in which they were created in order to build a dialogue with the contemporary.  

Jasmin Waschl is in charge of the curatorship. She is the founder and director of Fousion Gallery, Barcelona, ​​and for this occasion, she has selected established, or even legendary artists, who inhabit the worlds of pop surrealism, original illustration, urban art or abstract and conceptual graffiti. 

Fousion Gallery, renowned in its art sector, presents and represents internationally distinguished artists in solid forums as London, Basel, Paris, Cologne or New York just to name a few.  

The exhibition is of very short duration, almost as short as the accumulated energy-ball that is visible just before an explosion, which this time reclaims the outbreak of the movement known as New Contemporary Art. It is an activity promoted by Drap Art'20.

Phil Ashcroft

Phil Ashcroft’s specific form of gestural, emotive abstraction combines flattened out 1980s style art deco and graffiti influences with references to American abstraction which often threaten to overwhelm the upper sections of his canvases.

Julia Benz

Julia Benz, born in 1988, is a German painter and mural artist. Benz studied painting in Düsseldorf and Berlin where she continues to live and work. Julia Benz has partaken in numerous urban muralism projects and collaborated with central figures of the street art movement. Her studio work consequently incorporates traces of urban canvas techniques and sensibilities, and thus has been exhibited in galleries affiliated to the urban art scene and in international contemporary art contexts alike. While many of her contemporaries aim to transgress toward the traditions of modern painting from an urban art background, Benz departs in the opposite direction.

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.

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...
