This was a really interesting, surprising, uplifting and inspiring group show by artists from San Fernando in Cádiz
Artists:
Marta Pombo
Illustration, 3D, graphic design
Beautiful characterisation and colouring
Alfonso Vázquez Sentís
Photography
Stark and subtle snippets of El Palmar; I like the clip method of displaying the serene sea scapes
Sculpture
Smooth lines and surfaces, elegant, folk art, fantasy, sturdy, fossilised
Graphic design, illustrated photography
Funny charming, well executed, good characterisation and backgrounds, simple but very effective
Pitu García
Video installation
These portraits reminded me of those of Daniel Katz, not for their mood but their emptiness; these are much more pleasing in my opinion. Those dazed, bulging eyes look dark dwelling-Golomish, hypnotic, unmoved by the retro, cosy-horror domestic scene in the foreground.
Nerd
Street art, collage
These pieces looked deliciously dirty and tatty, fascinatingly detailed and textural, repetitively beautiful
Victor Bensusan
Photography
I particularly liked the rhythm and texture of this abstract drawing, which could have been an etching
María Goméz
Illustration, graphic design
Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the full composition here; it was a lovely balanced jumble of table, books, dolls and tins with bold but fine watercolours of large eyed women reminiscent of those in Pitu García's installation
