La Térmica Hosts Landmark Sorolla Monographic Exhibition in the Region
La Térmica has launched a major cultural milestone with the opening of ‘Sorolla a través de la luz. De la tradición a la modernidad’, marking the first monographic exhibition dedicated to Joaquín Sorolla in the region. Organised in collaboration with the Fundación Ciudad de la Energía (CIUDEN), the comprehensive showcase brings together original fine art with immersive digital installations to offer visitors a multi-layered journey through the master painter's career.
Exploring the Master of Light and Tradition
Staged within the venue's Condensadores hall, the exhibition features 40 authentic paintings that trace the stylistic evolution of the renowned artist from his late-19th-century output through to his most celebrated motifs. Several pieces—including notable works like La Red, Retrato de Federico Suárez, and Duelo en una hostería—are on display for the first time in Spain. Alongside early creations dating back to his youth, the selection incorporates regional elements such as local architecture, traditional garments, and historical jewelry sourced from institutions like the Museo Sorolla in Madrid and the Museo Etnográfico de Castilla y León.
Immersive Digital Rooms and Visitor Experience
Beyond the physical canvases, the exhibition incorporates cutting-edge technology developed alongside Light Art Exhibitions to expand how guests engage with the visual arts. Visitors can step into a dedicated sensory room equipped with ultra-high-definition LED screens projecting dynamic imagery, textures, and historical documents accompanied by a soundscape. Additionally, a virtual reality space places attendees directly inside historic settings, allowing them to walk through Sorolla's studio or experience the coastal landscapes that defined his practice.
