Luis Olaso

MEDOUSA

MAY 11 | JULY 1, 2017

MEDOUSA is the first solo exhibition in Madrid of the artist Luis Olaso.

Its leiv motiv is the human visage, as an element capable of defining the soul’s identity, from its absence (in the paintings) to its presence (in the mannequins).

It is the intention of the artist to create a reflection about the human visage; the face from the religious imaginary to publicity nowadays acts as a universal claim, nevertheless Luis Olaso’s bodies, mainly feminine, are portrayed without head.
