About the Exhibition

This is a large-scale exhibition themed on Carmen Laffón (1934-2021), a painter and sculptor from Seville, Spain. It is organized around her distinctive world of figures, centered on themes and motifs that recur throughout her work. The exhibition includes 77 works in total across oil painting, adaptation, and sculpture, organized into nine sections in total. Each section is built around a symbolic subject she frequently addressed, such as 'the Marcelina doll,' 'the bed,' 'the basket,' 'the wardrobe,' 'Doñana National Park,' 'the vineyard,' 'whitewash,' and 'the salt marsh.' The exhibition shows her artistic development through a dialogue between her early and late work, emphasizing her growing interest in art itself. The exhibition's highlights are her still lifes and landscapes, especially works showing the freer style and new subjects that appeared in her later work.
