Exploring the artwork by Teresa Gancedo (Tejedo de Sil, León, 1937) means entering a unique creative universe that is carefully woven through signs and symbols that Gancedo arranges and recodifies in order to narrate the experience of humankind in the world.
The selection of works exhibited at l’Escala, entitled Revelació (Revelation), covers the extensive career of a unique and tireless artist who has garnered exceptional international acclaim. In 1980, she was selected – along with other artists such as Sergi Aguilar, Carmen Calvo and Antoni Muntadas – by the international art critic Margit Rowell to take part in the famous exhibition New Images from Spain at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and ever since Gancedo has developed her own visual language that, midway between realism and mysticism, formalizes a highly illuminating approach to reality.
