Aurora Cañero

With this new online exhibition we want to present our new collaboration with the sculptor Aurora Cañero, an author of recognized trajectory since the eighties who seeks in the sculptural figuration the basis of her creative project, following the line of research initiated by the Realists of Madrid, with Julio López Hernández at the head.

The pieces we present here are an excerpt from his series of "little angels", begun in the nineties and which he has continued to develop uninterruptedly ever since.

Although the iconography of angels is recurrent since Antiquity, unlike its traditional use, here the artist strips it of the religious sentiment to focus it on children's playful hedonism. In her bronze she idealizes the figure, endows it with small wings and arranges it with playful, curious and mischievous eagerness, connecting with the viewer's inner child.

The narrative of the works creates small worlds on the pedestal, whose use is especially significant in her pieces, fundamental base where the figures are kept in balance giving expressive channel to the emotions not devoid of sense of humor.

Aurora Cañero has exhibited her work in art galleries in Madrid, Boston, Miami, Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Panama, Bogota, Santiago de Chile, Toronto, Knokke, Bielefeld, and Mikonos, as well as in numerous international art fairs: Singapore, Caracas, Santiago de Chile, Chicago, Seoul, San Francisco, Bologna, Turin, Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Paris, Ghent, Frankfurt and Madrid.
