PIERMARQ* is thrilled to participate in Can Ibiza Art Fair, exhibiting new work by Ben Crase & Rob Tucker.
Saša Bogojev, Curator of CAN Ibiza, said: “Our invited galleries are all hand-picked because of their position at the forefront of the emerging international art scene as well as their reputations for working with interesting emerging and mid-career creators with a strong affinity towards figuration. Our careful curation of participants gives the fair a focused aesthetic and distinctive appeal, and we are thrilled to be welcoming back many familiar galleries whilst also showcasing some exciting new ones for the first time in 2023.”
CAN – Contemporary Art Now–, is envisioned as a laid-back event that celebrates somewhat of a current renaissance of figurative painting and related work. Looking back at the ground breaking legacy of Cubism, Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Fauvism, CoBrA, New Objectivity, all the way to Futurism, New Leipzig School, Pop Art, Naïve Art and their sub-varieties, the curation of the fair is primarily focused on the notable artists and the galleries that have been supporting their practices. With such an approach, CAN aims to honor the individuals and entities that have contributed to the boost and appreciation of such progression and support its further development. This defined focus transforms the occasion into a casual reunion of familiar artists names whose activity often overlapped in the past due to the complementing affinity towards the similar aesthetics.
