exhibition · 2026-09-04

From September 10 to October 10, 2026, Arma Gallery in Madrid will showcase 'Manos de hacer,' an exhibition by Spanish artist Juana González. This collection emphasizes the challenge of painting hands, a theme González has often explored in her expressive, Baroque-influenced figurative works. It wasn't until other artists highlighted the significance of hands in her art that she recognized their emotional and dramatic impact. The exhibition includes slightly more than a dozen vibrant recent paintings, prominently featuring robust, knobby hands. This event is part of a monthly selection by Artsy, which highlights five exceptional exhibitions at emerging and smaller galleries.
