One more year the Madrid galleries are betting on fresh and innovative proposals and do it with the help of powerful artists and with character. Some of them, are premiered in this edition, as 6mas1 and gallery Jorge Alcolea, while the others consolidate as veterans.

Julio Falagán. Untitled - Assemblage of skies of popular landscapes and landmarks - 125 x 230 cm - 2016

The gallery 6mas1, is a young and dynamic space that bets on the emerging art both national and international. In 2010 they moved to a new venue with sufficient capacity to hold exhibitions that would improve the conditions of their most contemporary proposals. The result was the expected one, since it has become a space that invites to the reflection of free autonomy for artists, being the visitor the first link of the participatory chain. It is defined as a window to a creative laboratory, which pretends to be the place of emotional exchange between artists, spectators and themselves.

His proposal for the 12th edition is Julio Falagán, Mar Cuervo, Joel Blanco, Pachi Giustinian and Louis Lambert. The latter, an urban artist who has wanted to blur the boundaries between art and craftsmanship using rough materials (such as cement) and popular themes that change the frame to which they are usually adjusted.

Joseba Eskubi. S.T -Oil on canvas - 55 x 46 cm - 2016

The Estampa gallery was founded in 1978, its main objective is to give visibility to contemporary artists both national and foreign. The new figuration is its main feature, but its functions do not stop there, they have also specialized in publishing books of limited edition artists. A resource that increases the exhibition value of the gallery.

The artists selected to exhibit at the fair are Juan Ángel González de la Calle, Joseba Eskubi, Norberto Gil and Luis Mayo. Eskubi, offers us a proposal based on a gestural painting, that combines techniques and processes that emphasize the material qualities of the image. The pictorial gesture creates a credible figure, but it is at the same time deconstructed as something strictly physical. His work produces an obsessive effect, as something absurd and indomitable where a serial and repetitive structure expands the body of the painting.

José Ramón Lozano. Cara Delevingne - Acrylic on canvas - 150 x 150 cm - 2016

The BAT gallery Alberto Cornejo, has more than three decades dedicated to the contemporary art sector.

In the field of graphic and original work their fame go before them, thus maintaining the most nourished funds of the art market. One of BAT's winning bets is the confidence it offers its young artists who follow an expressive and very contemporary line. The artists selected for the fair are Gustavo Diaz Sosa, Pablo Lambertos, Leticia Felgueroso, Carlos Albert, Rubén Martin de Lucas, José Ramón Lozano and Marc Quintana.

The artists chosen to show their work are Eloy Morales, Abraham Calero, Carlos (Ceesepe) Sánchez Pérez, Isabel Ramoneda, Juan Escauriaza and Mario Pavez.

The Hispanic Contemporary Gallery, has its origins in Madrid but at the moment has an expansion in Mexico City.
