Art

The intentional use of somewhat anachronistic technology, a personal yet distant relationship with the models, the spontaneity hidden behind a pose… We invite you to share the unusual gaze these two writers offer us of the work of one of the most intriguing contemporary photographers on the current scene.

On 3 September, at 11.30am, 1pm, 5.30pm and 7pm at our Fundación MAPFRE Casa Garriga Nogués Exhibition Hall in Barcelona we will find out why Learoyd chooses to use a darkroom, we will learn about his deliberate formal decision to isolate the subject from the medium and the medium from the subject and we will glimpse the emotions of the people portrayed in his photographs.

Photography, emotion and the body in the work of Richard Learoyd is the title of this journey we are offering you on the final days of the exhibition.
