Arancha Goyeneche Presents Sticked Painting (2012-2014) at Espacio Marzana in Bilbao
Contemporary art enthusiasts visiting the Bilbao Estuary will find a striking visual installation at Espacio Marzana, featuring the work of artist Arancha Goyeneche. Her project, titled Sticked painting (2012-2014), expands upon her ongoing exploration of abstract language, traditional painting disciplines, and contemporary media.
Ceramic Inspiration and Contemporary Execution
The installation draws direct inspiration from a visit to the Palacio de las Dueñas (referred to as Palacio Pilatos in the source) in Seville, where the artist observed traditional cuerda seca Mudejar tile panels. Translating those contrasting color palettes, reflective glazes, and fractal geometries into a modern format, Goyeneche has constructed an immersive visual environment.
The piece comprises over 1,000 independent self-adhesive vinyl units arranged to form a sweeping mural measuring 180 cm by 5,400 cm. Together, these individual elements create a vibrant, neo-pop spatial experience designed to challenge standard visual perception and disorient the viewer through sheer intensity.
Visiting Espacio Marzana
Located right along the estuary, Espacio Marzana continues to serve as a key venue for cutting-edge artistic practices in the local art scene. Visitors looking to explore more contemporary art spaces and current exhibitions across the city can consult the museums list or browse the map view for directions and travel planning on Musemap (musemap.art).
