Elena Blasco Explores Domesticity and Cultural Fusion in MIX at Espacio Mínimo
MIX. La donna è mobile, the second solo exhibition by Elena Blasco, is currently on view at Espacio Mínimo in Madrid from September 10 to November 14, 2026. Since starting her career in 1976, Blasco has developed a distinctive style marked by vibrant colors, a variety of techniques, and a playful mix of high and low cultural references. The exhibition presents both historical and contemporary pieces, blurring the lines of time. The gallery is transformed into a display resembling a furniture store, emphasizing domestic themes. As noted by Carlos Jiménez in 1991, "The interior is an interior of resistance." Large-format works challenge modern stereotypes, drawing inspiration from Ibsen's A Doll's House and underscoring Blasco's significant role in the art world.
