Alfonso Albacete's 'Pintura de campo' exhibition opens at Galería Fernández-Braso in Madrid
Alfonso Albacete, who trained as an architect, emerged as a prominent artist in Spanish painting during the 1970s and 1980s, alongside Pérez Villalta. His notable early piece, 'En el estudio' (1979), is part of the collection at Fundación Juan March. The first exhibition, titled 'Pintura de campo', will take place at Madrid's Galería Fernández-Braso, displaying around thirty recent works influenced by a cortijo courtyard. Inspirations for his art include Fra Angelico, Brueghel, Pollock, De Kooning, Sorolla, Miró, and José Guerrero. Among the highlighted works are 'Puerta al río', a homage to De Kooning, and 'Dado', which draws from Duchamp. The exhibition is scheduled from April 16 to June 13, 2026, at Galería Fernández-Braso, Villanueva 30, Madrid.
