Albion Art – A New Concept in Art Gallery
Enric Granados, 121
Barcelona, Spain
This month a new art gallery, Albion Art, has opened in Barcelona. Albion
Art represents the culmination of the artist´s and at the same time,
director´s idea of a new future in the world of galleries.
Juan Luis Quintana, a painter with a long career of exhibits in places ranging
from Belgium to America, grew tired of the domination of a few in the world
of exhibitions. As an independent artist, he grasped for a way to make his
art more accessible and came up with the idea of a nomad gallery. He found
the ideal space for his gallery on Enric Granados. ¨Albion Art is in Barcelona
today, but tomorrow it could be in any city in Spain or in the world for that
matter, occupying a totally different physical space than where it is now,¨
says the artist. ¨Why should a gallery be a static thing?¨
The exhibit titled ¨Anthropomorphic Landscapes¨ reflects the artist´s
search for form using his own distinct palette and abstract style which hints
at the diverse lands which have inspired his work. These places range from
Zanzibar, Uyuni, Riga, and Santa Fe, New Mexico but Quintana never forgets
his native Catalonia. His sophisticated use of color transmits a sense of
peace and suggests another reality just out of our reach.
In his work Quintana creates a transcendental world of objects with deep meaning
like in his series of totems. The beauty of his world of recognizable objects
and habitats goes beyond functionality to touch us in a deeper way. His own
personal vision translates easily to universal archetypes. The visitor to
the exhibition can enjoy the paintings on many levels: for their beauty of
colour and form or as a reflection of a more interior landscape.
