“That other forest within the forest”

Paintings 2019-2021

The art gallery Fernández-Braso presents an exhibition dedicated to the latest paintings by Isabel Villar (Salamanca, 1934) made in his studio in Madrid between 2019 and 2021. This exhibition complements the retrospective held at the gallery in 2018, curated by Alberto Anaut; and it happens to the participation of Isabel Villar in the exhibition “Collection XX: History of Art,” held in 2020 at the Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo (CA2M) of the Community of Madrid.

Isabel Villar meet 87-year-old the next day, march 8, and we wanted to join in the celebration by organizing this exhibition and editing a new catalogue on the artist, a publication that will bring together the works of participants, and two new texts about his work and his painting.
