Exhibition summary

This exhibition presents a dialogue between Francisco de Goya's 'Disparates' series and the works of contemporary artist Lita Cabellut. It explores shared themes of the human condition, societal issues, and emotions through their distinct artistic languages.

Curatorial context

Inspired by Goya's 'Disparates,' artist Lita Cabellut presents an exhibition that showcases a profound dialogue between their respective views on the human condition, expressed through different artistic languages. The carefully arranged works of Goya and Cabellut are designed to be an intellectual immersion, encouraging viewers to explore the underlying historical and cultural synergies between these two artists. This encounter reveals Lita Cabellut's recognition that Goya's concerns have always been present in her own work, presenting an artistic journey that unravels the essence of creation and embraces aesthetic complexity. The exhibition highlights the intricate dialectic symphony between two creators from different eras, underscoring the intellectual depth involved in interpreting their art. The conceptual and artistic confluence serves as fertile ground for deep inquiry into the exhibition's essence. As curator Eloy Martínez de la Pera notes, the exhibition offers "two gazes that analyze the soul of the human being." It addresses themes of fear, envy, friendship, love, violence, ideology, politics, chaos, old age, ambition, power, and loyalty, shedding metaphorical and plastic light on these concepts to illuminate the human condition and the artists' understanding of art.
