Galería Alegría was established in December 2010 after a nice place was found in the patio of an old factory downtown Barcelona. The reasons behind this project were, and still are, to give some visibility and support to some artists that have in common a free, lavish and rebellious attitude.
Ferrán Blanco, 84 y.o, was the first artist who showed his work. He´s from a small beautiful village called Calaceite. This genuine artist captivate me with his daily militancy, entrenched in his collage. Blanco doesn´t miss the chance to attack Power with its sharp scissors. His energic compromise is an example we all should follow. (watch video)
Our guideline is quite simple: we just like being seduced by the plasticity of the pieces and their poetics. A selection of artists that conform a group destined to satisfy those who are looking for contemporary art in a special place focused on delight and reflection without renounce to a certain plasticity and sense of humor.
After two years of hard work, I decided to expand and I opened a new space in Madrid, looking for new public and a wider diffusion of our artists catalogue.
13 Cascorro square was the place chosen for the second Galería Alegría. Thanks to a warm welcome and a total implication of Luján Marcos (artist and coordinator of the madrilian headquarters) we decided to focus on Madrid and move to Doctor Fourquet street, one of the main streets in Madrid dedicated to art.
We believe in a schedule where artists with different carrers (short, medium and long) join other artists that are absolutely unknown since they don´t belong at all to the art circuit.
Galería Alegría is a place where art, design, editorial works and anything that moves and excites us have a space. Welcome!
