The Gustavo de Maeztu Museum presents an exhibition of works by the artist Pedro Irulegui from Estella in the ‘Sugerencias’ exhibition space.

The Gustavo de Maeztu Museum’s ‘Suggestions’ exhibition space is a place designed to open up new lines of dialogue between the Museum and contemporary creators.

On this occasion, the space is hosting the work of Pedro Irulegui León, an artist from Estella whose career is characterised by his reflections on the way he creates and his experience of art. Irulegui has an intense summer of artistic activity, thanks to the collaboration with the Madrid art gallery Gaudí, Irulegui will have the opportunity this summer to show his work in European cities such as Munich, Paris and Madrid.
The exhibition at the ‘Sugerencias’ space of the Gustavo de Maeztu Museum presents an intimate and essential facet of Pedro Irulegui’s work. It is an unpublished series of small-format works, born as sketches of large-scale compositions, which have taken on new life as independent pieces. On this occasion, Irulegui dispenses with photography, a habitual tool in his creative process, matter and initial intuition.
Through collage, painting and mixed media, the artist returns to the place where it all begins: the impulsive stroke, the incipient form, the fragment that contains the whole

These works are not models or preparatory studies in the usual sense, they are a reappropriation of the sketch as a final work, where the artist delves into his poetics of stripping: layers of paper, glazes, remains of pigments, suspended lines… All of this speaks of visual memory, of decisions taken and possibilities discarded.
With a more open and raw aesthetic, Irulegui moves away from the photographic and digital finish that has characterised part of his recent work, to embrace the tactile, the manual, the intimate.

This exhibition responds to the Museum’s commitment to promote current artistic creation and generate a framework for exchange between different generations and artistic languages.
Admission to the Museum is free and it can be visited from Tuesday to Saturday, from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm and from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm; Sundays and public holidays, from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.
