Palazuelo. Musical Calligraphies

Pablo Palazuelo is one of the key figures in Spanish art of the second half of the twentieth century. An exceptional artist within the panorama of Spanish abstract art, not only because he is the author of a full and rich body of work in its diversity that makes him singular, but also because he departs from the general trends in which the rest of the artists of his generation were inscribed, more interested in material or gestural abstraction. His work, always meticulous and pristine, responds to a very personal geometric conception characterized by an extremely refined technique and an admirable sense of color, constants that are always present throughout his entire career.This exhibition titled Palazuelo. Musical Calligraphies aimed to approach the artist's work from his relationship with music, exploring the intimate relationship that exists between his work, sound and silence. It allowed one to contemplate how musical language underlies the entire trajectory of the Madrid-born creator as a common denominator element. The exhibition presents works from public and private institutions, from museums and foundations as well as from private collectors who generously lent their works for this exhibition, without which it would not have been possible.
