House XVI. Rubén Martín de Lucas.

 

In the gallerism profession, Bat has always shown a special sense to seeking for new creators, with emergent artists with a promising trajectory. In this searching process it is essential to enter into a nearness relationship with the artists and their work, as the own Alberto explains: "Heart is moved first, you have literally to fall in love with the works of an artist. With years passing, the gallerist develops a special instinct that gives us clues. Without doubt, it is necessary to combine heart with intellect and bet always for the work executed with sensibility, intelligence, quality and plastic rigour”.

 
 

House XVII. Rubén Martín de Lucas.

 

Bat's proposal for Art Madrid'15 comes full of established classics and new discoveries: Carmen Pastrana, Pepe Puntas, Gustavo Díaz Sosa, Pablo Lambertos, Leticia Felgueroso, Carlos Alberts, Rubén Martín de Lucas, Diego Canogar, José Ramón Lozano and Xurxo Gómez-Chao.

 

The work of Rubén Martín de Lucas must be stood out. The professional trajectory of this artists from Madrid has suffered a surprising change when after having started his engineering studies he decided to quit everything so he could completely dedicate to art. This creative immersion, started in 2002, led him to become a prolific artist ant to combine his individual production with the active collaboration in artists collectives. Among them, we must highlight Boa Mistura, creators group characterized by their performances in urban media and their studied and sensationalist plays of perspectives, of big dimensions and spectacular visual impact.¨Ruben brings to Art Madrid a series of oneiric landscapes pieces, with a clear real referent, but burdened of an colourist weight that provides them a surrealistic and important value.

 
 

De la serie Burócratas y Padrinos. Gustavo Díaz Sosa.

 

Another young artist is Gustavo Díaz Sosa, born in Sagua la Grande, Cuba. He started a career as teacher in the own National Academy of Fine Arts “San Alejandro”, where he had studied, before he decided to project his professional career in Spain. He arrives to our country in 2004 after having being awarded with the Arteleku scholarship for an artistic stay in San Sebastián, and four years later he decided to settle in the capital. The work of this creator has the characteristic of being at mid-way between the sketch and a finished piece. The lightness of his lines passes on quickness and freshness, and it achieves to transmit the inner sensation of the creative process, like if the author had been interrupted in this exact moment. Among the subjects chosen for his creations, Gustavo does not avoid his critical will of social surroundings in which he lives and, in many times, the matters make reference to the main issues of mankind and its relationship with power and money.

 

 

 



Art Madrid’26 presents One Shot Collectors, a program sponsored by One Shot Hotels that returns to the fair -now in its sixth edition- with the goal of making contemporary art collecting more accessible and encouraging new and established collectors alike. The initiative is designed to support both art professionals and new audiences interested in starting or strengthening a collection by providing tools, knowledge, and specialized guidance.

One Shot Collectors promotes an informed and approachable way of acquiring artworks, understanding collecting as a process that requires discernment, context, and time. The program serves as a bridge between the public and the artworks presented at the fair, fostering a confident and well-informed relationship with the art market.



The program is directed by Ana Suárez Gisbert, an art advisor with extensive experience in the art market. Her background includes artwork valuation and appraisal, as well as personalized advisory services throughout the acquisition process, helping participants identify works that align with their interests, budget, and goals. Her approach combines technical rigor with a strong commitment to best practices and sustainability within the art ecosystem.

Art collecting goes beyond the purchase of a single work. It involves an intellectual, aesthetic, and personal journey that connects collectors with the artist’s context, discourse, and creative process. Building a collection means developing a personal point of view, making informed decisions, and allowing the collection to evolve coherently over time, guided by enjoyment and confidence in one’s own taste.

So how do we decide where to focus and how to move forward? Where do we begin? How does one purchase connect to the next? A successful acquisition comes from following personal interests, learning to recognize what truly resonates with us, and staying informed before and throughout the process.

During Art Madrid’26, One Shot Collectors offered a personalized advisory service tailored to different profiles: established collectors, individuals acquiring their first artwork, and companies interested in developing collections aligned with their values and brand identity. The program adapts to a wide range of needs and offers customized tours of the fair based on aesthetic, conceptual, and budget considerations.

Our Art Advisor prepares a curated selection of artworks according to each buyer’s criteria and provides support throughout the negotiation process, offering a professional and strategic perspective. In this way, collecting becomes an informed, coherent, and rewarding experience.

Beginning a collection may stem from a desire for knowledge and aesthetic, social, economic, or even corporate exploration. At Art Madrid, we encourage collecting among individuals and companies interested in patronage and investment. This initiative is aimed at both professionals and contemporary art enthusiasts who wish to start or continue building a collection. Art Madrid presents a wide variety of works across disciplines such as photography, painting, sculpture, and installation, spanning a broad range of price points.

Whether you are an experienced collector, a first-time buyer, or a company seeking to express its values through art, the One Shot Collectors program offers a comprehensive experience.
