The thirty-six paintings and collages on display, made by Gonzalo Torné and Quico Rivas between 2005 and 2007, reveal the artists' preferences, interests, and thoughts. It is the first time these works have ever been exhibited in public and they are presented as a visual manifesto, highlighting the "appropriationist" tendencies practised by Gonzalo Torné: images of film posters and artworks such as Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring (1665) and Damien Hirst's For the Love of God (2007) are set within the context of a visual dialogue rooted in the present. Hands feature prominently in the works on display, not only as tools that create with paint, but also as subjects to be painted and protagonists in their own right. --Museum website.
