The exhibition Tenir llei, curated by artists Román Fabré, Ian Soler Bradley, and Albert Riera Galceran, presents the joint work of three creators linked to L'Hospitalet de Llobregat who propose a contemporary approach to the figure and legacy of Eduard Arranz-Bravo. The exhibition is part of the Art Nou program and can be visited at the eponymous foundation until July 12, 2026.
More than proposing a formal or stylistic reading of Arranz-Bravo's work, the project focuses on going a little further and reflecting on the way of understanding the creative act. The three artists share with Arranz-Bravo an open, vital, and experimental conception of art, which overflows the limits of the discipline and merges with daily life.
In this sense, the exhibition does not start from imitation or direct quotation, but from a shared attitude: working from necessity, impulse, and the immediate connection between vital experience and artistic production. This idea becomes the core that articulates the entire exhibition.
An expanded and shared installation
The exhibition combines painting, objects, projections, and interventions in space to create relationships between the pieces and the devices. This exhibition ecosystem allows for establishing links with different moments and gestures in Arranz-Bravo's career, such as his relationship with public space, the incorporation of everyday objects, or the playful and experimental dimension of his work.
Far from a linear narrative, the exhibition proposes a journey where the practices of the three artists dialogue with each other and with Arranz-Bravo's legacy. The result highlights creation as a living, shared, and constantly transforming process.
The artists who are part of it
Román Fabré (Palma de Mallorca, 1999) develops a pictorial and installative practice focused on experimentation with gesture and materials, exploring the limits between figuration and abstraction. Albert Riera Galceran (Barcelona, 1995) works from a multidisciplinary perspective that integrates painting, sculpture, and installation, with a special interest in matter and processes. Ian Soler Bradley (Barcelona, 2000) investigates the relationship between image, space, and object through devices that activate new readings of the context.
The three artists work in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and jointly promote the curatorship of the Barsa space, located on Gonçal Ponç street in the same city.
