One more year, the well-known and innovative brand of acrylic paintings Liquitex, joins the sponsors of Art Madrid to develop a series of dynamic and participative actions, this time together with the School of Plastic and Design Education Artediez.
Liquitex is one of the brands collaborating with the program "The Fine Art Collective", through which it establishes synergies with artistic organizations and institutions around the world to support emerging practice through workshops, projects, exhibitions, residencies and student grants. In this edition of Art Madrid, Liquitex will collaborate with Artediez to carry out an educational action, a masterclass to explore the different creative possibilities of acrylic painting, "intermixable" in its different formats and its range of additives (focus on inks, spray, marker and some additives).
The theoretical-practical workshop: "New acrylic formats, new creative possibilities", will take place on Tuesday 25th February from 17:00 to 19:00h in the Auditorium of the Artediez School and will be given by the Liquitex resident artist Miguel Torrús, using the brand's range of acrylics and additives.
The Escuela de Artediez is a public centre in Madrid that has a great experience in the teaching of Plastic Arts and Design in all its variants (graphic, interior, industrial and fashion). The school contributes with its teaching method, to the development of a favourable environment for design and artistic activities.
Another action developed by Liquitex is the endowment of a prize in materials valued at 1,500 RRP to one of the participating artists of Art Madrid who uses acrylic painting as the main medium in his creations. The winner will be announced on the last day of the fair (Sunday 1st March) with a function (with a symbolic check), and will be decided between the organisation of Art Madrid and Liquitex.
The company Liquitex has been offering innovations in the field of acrylic painting since 1955. This year it celebrates its 65th birthday defending the same slogan as when it was born: **"create without borders". The creator of the first water-based acrylic paint currently offers a range of intense and vibrant acrylic paints in different formats (thick body, fluid body, inks, acrylic gouache, markers and sprays), acrylic mediums and various accessories. Liquitex products, having the same range of colours in the various formats, can be mixed allowing any artist to experiment with their colour palette without limits.
