In early September, Madrid’s gallerists and collectors come back to life after a scorching summer lull. El Apartamento’s Madrid space is showing Bedia’s latest series, which explores the violence, mysticism, love, heritage, and nature which gallerist Luis Sicre says can be read as “representative” of Latin America.

En sus nuevos trabajos, que llegarán a España en septiembre con una exposición titulada La pesca —en la galería El Apartamento dentro de Apertura Madrid Gallery Weekend, el evento que inaugura la temporada expositiva y que este año se celebra entre el 10 y el 13 de ese mes—, su paleta cromática se ha oscurecido, y sus prototipos se enfrentan al agua.


"La pesca" es la primera exposición personal de la artista Brenda Cabrera en El Apartamento. La muestra reúne una selección de pinturas recientes e invita al público a adentrarse en el singular imaginario de la artista, resultado de sus investigaciones en torno a la naturaleza del alma humana y a las estructuras de poder que la civilización ha construido para condicionarla.


Apertura Madrid Gallery Weekend celebra, del 10 al 13 de septiembre, su edición más amplia hasta hoy, con sesenta galerías que presentan conjuntamente sus nuevas exposiciones. El cruce de generaciones aparece en El Apartamento, que presenta a dos cubanos, José Bedia y Brenda Cabrera, separados por casi cuatro décadas.


La temporada artística tiene una fecha muy concreta de arranque en Madrid: la que marca Apertura Gallery Weekend, el evento que da el pistoletazo de salida a las citas culturales en la ciudad después del parón estival (...) Empezaremos la ruta en nuestra propia casa, El Apartamento (Calle de Puebla, 4) que inauguran con José Bedia y Brenda Carrera, presente y futuro de la pintura cubana.


“Diálogos en el desierto” es la primera exposición personal de José Bedia en El Apartamento. La muestra reúne una selección de pinturas, obras sobre papel y textiles que acercan al público algunas de las investigaciones más recientes del artista (...) El título de la exposición alude a las innumerables expediciones e investigaciones de campo que el artista ha realizado a lo largo de las últimas décadas por distintos territorios de Latinoamérica, el Caribe y algunas regiones de África.
