The solo exhibition “Over/Under the Raw” will present works on the deliberate return to abstraction of the artist José Manuel Ciria. These bodies of works arise in the context of a complicated personal scenario, marked by the conclusion of a seven years-long staying in New York, followed by José’s return to Madrid and the imminent move to London. This convoluted period has inspired three new series, defining the artist’s evolved approach towards the 'pictorial spot ‘ as a 'raw ‘ element onto which the visual construction is built up.
