Marc Decoene Fine Arts is a gallery from south Erolzheim (Ulm-Germany) opened in 2008. Since the beginning its target was to promote European young artists. With this aim, it organizes periodically monographic exhibitions of emerging artists came from different countries of the old continent.

This gallery counts also with it's own space in Barcelona, where it continue its diffusion labor focused on Spanish artists. Marc Decoene visits Art Madrid’15 with pieces by Jesús Zurita, Ramón Clapers, Joan Priego, Ken Lambert, Alejandra Corral and Diambra Mariani.

 

Obra de Jesús Zurita.

 

It is remarkable the work of Jesús Zurita. This artist from Ceuta, graduated in Fine Arts in the University of Granada, has already received numerous awards like the Drawing Award of the Fine Arts Academy of Granada; the Grupo Lozano Award; the INICIARTE 2008 award or the ADAJA 2009 award. Despite the fact that his trajectory has just started in the international scope, with presence in Mexico and Netherland, this creator counts on a huge recognition in Spain. His work transports us to dark and oniric atmospheres, unreal realities and troubling characters that  seem to arise from traditional Slav tales. Draughtsman and illustrator, Zurita knows how to give to the colour the visual impact that it deserves and turn it into a tangible presence inside his compositions.

In this edition, the Galleries Program brings together around 35 exhibitors from more than seven countries, offering a representative overview of the most recent developments in contemporary creation.


The Art Madrid ’26 catalog serves as a key publication for discovering the work of this edition’s galleries and artists —marked by experimentation and a plurality of perspectives— while also documenting the conceptual axes that shape the fair. As part of the Parallel Program, INHABITING THE EPHEMERAL: A Reflection on the “Species” of Spaces proposes a reflection on space, relationships, and shared experience, expanding the understanding of the fair beyond its commercial dimension and highlighting its cultural and experiential significance.


In addition, the catalog presents the initiatives that complete the program, such as the Open Booth dedicated to emerging creation, the Nebrija Space in collaboration with Nebrija University, the Performance Series “Open Infinite. What the Body Remembers,” the One Shot Collectors Program, and the Patronage Program, reaffirming the fair’s commitment to supporting, mediating, and accompanying contemporary art at every stage.
