Descripción del Artista

Bárbara Alegre is a Spanish visual artist based between Barcelona and London. She is currently finishing an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the artist is attentive to ‘life forming questions’ which are probably accompanied with loneliness. Questions on time, memory and expiration, and on the search of the origin, genealogy, identity and the transmission of values. Her practice arises from the autobiographical in order to talk about the ‘Other’. An investigation about universal questions concerning being human and the entangled relation between the physical and the psychological across the individual and the collective. She is interested in the representation of the intangible, such as the notion of time, or the interaction between bodily senses and the perception of those through sight. Also embodying fraternity and the capacity to place oneself in another’s position. Alegre’s work supports the idea of art being a ... ‘shelter’ or ‘safe place’. Somewhere to return and reflect. Where quietness, intimacy, contemplation and delicacy aim to bring protection and freedom. A motherly act of care and embrace.
