The Gamazo Wearhouse of ENAIRE Foundation in Santander (Spain) host the exhibition \u201cFantasies at el Prado\u201d by the spanish photographer Alberto Garc\u00eda-Alix, from June 15th<\/sup> to September 24th<\/sup> 2023. The exhibition is the result of four years of intermittent visits to the Prado Museum (2018-2021) in which Garc\u00eda -Alix decides to create his own imaginary from the paintings that houses the museum. To do this, he used the technique of multiple exposures on analog film, thus managing to reinterpret some of Prado\u2019s masterpieces, create phantasmagorias, give mystery, tension and movement to the paintings, and flesh and breath to the sculptures. \u201cEach painting is a world. And as such, I have taken it to invent and build a new one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garc\u00eda-Alix, ENAIRE Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award 2022, says that he has looked in communication with history, politics and art: \u201cI have appropriated time, light and brushstrokes. I have taken those of their authors. Those of Goya to repaint his half-buried dog, those of Vel\u00e1zquez to remake Las Meninas, I have veiled the Gioconda under a terrorist stain of white paint, I have taken over Rubens\u2019s frenzy to capture what he did not dare to paint in his time, and I have self-portraited myself with a beast mask thanks to the help of Rosa Bonheur\u2026 Nothing is valuable, or comparable to the emotion I have felt working with the paintings\u201d.<\/p>\n

The trigger to start this project arose in 2017 with the commission of two photographs by Fundaci\u00f3n de Amigos del Museo del Prado to commemorate the Bicentennial of the museum. \u201cTwelve photographers were entrusted with our own interpretation, a look in intimate visual communication with El Prado,\u201d says Garc\u00eda-Alix. \u201cOnce the work was finished -he adds-, I was still fascinated by the photographic dialogue that I could find in many of the works, so I decided to continue, on a personal basis and with the permission of the museum, my photographic hunt through el Prado\u201d.<\/p>\n

The photographer\u2019s fascination with El Prado Museum began as a child, together with his siblings, when his mother, a Philosophy and Letters teacher, took them for a walk through the museum\u2019s rooms and taught them about the history and technique behind each work. Those visits left their mark on him, being today an avid reader and great connoisseur of Spanish history, in addition to considering El Prado as the best photography school there can be, especially portraiture. Among his favourites, those made by Antonio Moro for the Duchess of Feria and Mar\u00eda Tudor, works that he has included in this new photographic series and that captivate him by the gaze of their protagonists, the placement of light, and the position of bodies and hands that the painter gave them.<\/p>\n
