Museo-Fundación Casa Pintada y Centro Cristóbal Gabarrón


ARCHIVED ARTICLE

Museo-Fundación Casa Pintada y Centro Cristóbal Gabarrón de Interpretación de la Cultura Contemporánea.

Museo-Fundación Casa Pintada y Centro Cristóbal GabarrónThis is located within the Casa Pintada, one of Mulas noble houses with a distinctive sgraffito fachada in red and white. Click Casa Pintada for more information about the history of this distinctive building

Cristóbal Gabarrón is Mulas best known contemporary artist and has produced works in a vast range of mediums, as a sculptor, painter, muralist and engraver and has been described as "one of the most representative artists of the latter generations of Spanish artists."
He was born in Mula in 1945, and the family moved to Valladolid, aged 6.

From 1996 he divided his time between Spain and New York, producing exhibitions and works displayed  in Museo-Fundación Casa Pintada y Centro Cristóbal GabarrónAtlanta, Nagano, Salt Lake City, Athens, the Expo 82 in Seville, the Olympic Games in Barcelona and the European Parliament.This building holds 150 of his paintings and sculptural works, showing a broad representation of the pieces he has produced, although from the onset Gabarrón tends to focus on a recurring series of themes.

Gabarrón is a master of different media, and the pieces displayed in the Casa Pintada reflect his constant Museo-Fundación Casa Pintada y Centro Cristóbal Gabarrónprocess of experimentation with materials and forms, each material expressing a different nuance, a different message: soft and tactile clay, an earthly and natural material used by mankind as a material for expression from earliest prehistory, wood, a warm and sinuous material, organic and tactile, iron, durable and malleable, the heart and soul around which his pieces are formed, harsh steel, a dynamic and forceful material with strong impact and durability, sinuous industrial fibreglass, which can be torn and teased to create space and openness, but also signify gaping space and emptiness, soft canvas and brittle glass, each manipulated and woven into a symbolism laden creation and part of  a journey through life.


Gabarrón has often been called a “colour humanist” using his art to express the theme which preoccupies him in all his works: humanity and human nature, “people, relationships, life, death, love, the constant struggle Museo-Fundación Casa Pintada y Centro Cristóbal Gabarrónbetween the internal and external worlds within our lives, and the destructive forces which fight within all of us, the goodness  of humanity, but our own capacity for destruction and injustice.”

Click Cristóbal Gabarrón to read more about this artist and an interview given during an exhibition of his work in the Regional Contemporary Art Museum, the MURAM, Cartagena.

The Casa Pintada also has a temporary exhibition room used for temporary exhibitions.

The Casa Pintada is open to the public:
Tuesday to Saturday 10.30am to 2pm and 5.30pm to 8pm
Sundays and Festival days 11am to 2pm
