'Labyrinth/Memory', a walk through the sculptural duality of Guillermo Summers.

May 10, 2009

The temporary exhibitions of the Capa Esculturas' galleries are one of its big bets to let us know the new Spanish contemporary sculpture's artists. The gallery in Madrid, at Claudio Coello Street, opens its doors to the artistic works of Guillermo Summers. The show 'Labyrinth/Memory' explores the concept of duality. Space and time, labyrinth and memory are some of the extremes that put together in an exhibition that can be visited from the 14th May to the 2nd June.

Among the works that forms 'Labyrinth/Memory', 'This is our time' stands out. Under the title 'We can't rewind, this is our time', Summers makes an introspection exercise in which he thinks about the existence and the passage of time. Another work of the exhibition is 'Icarus garden', an original composition where birds become the main characters of a metaphor about the heaven-earth duality.


Artistic Reflection

Guillermo Summers (Madrid, 1968) has a degree in Fine Arts by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (University Complutense of Madrid). He has also studied at the Gloucestershire Collage of Arts in England. In his curriculum there are individual and collective exhibitions in a lot of Spanish galleries. Likewise, his works have visited countries like England and China. Some of them are part of renowned prestige art collections.

'Labyrinth/Memory' is the first individual exhibition of Summers in Capa Esculturas. His sculptural reflection, his creative technique and his duality treatment put him in a privileged position of the current Spanish sculpture. The exhibition can be visited, with free entry, until the next 2nd of June.
