The Galeria Miguel Marcos stars the 2023 – 24 season with the exhibition: Flores de Cantón y Lurigancho, dedicated to Pepe Cobo, a well-known gallery owner who had in Sevilla, Madrid and also in Lima, Perú, art galleries.
Pepe Cobo presents a singular project in Barcelona. By tradition, it founds a clear commitment to a conceptual discourse.
Works exhibited are made by drawings and embroideries of “Mantones de Manila” (Manila Shawls), from China. In pre-Columbian cultures, textile pieces were considered a symbol of wealth and prestige. They have a special meaning, and they were used in a wide variety of contexts. From elements already mentioned – Manila Shawl – ceramic pieces, etc. are also added, so that together provide the exhibition with a strong artistic discourse, it is intended, claiming for textiles and ceramics as a great art.
