Willi Siber
(Germany, b. 1949）
Willi Siber (Germany, b. 1949) graduated from the University of Stuttgart, majoring in Art History. He currently lives and works in Upper Swabia, Germany, and is renowned for his abstract installations. Siber states, "My works are always free and independent objects that do not need to be narratively explained." Drawing from the Baroque art and cultural landscape of southern Germany's Upper Swabia, as well as being surrounded by the boundless natural scenery, Siber transforms and distills the Baroque's opulent colors and rhythms, along with his profound connection to nature, into his abstract works. He continuously explores the plasticity of materials, focusing on shape, color, and texture to overturn viewers' visual perceptions. In 2023, he was awarded Germany's most prestigious cultural honor, the "Oberschwäbischer Kunstpreis." In 2019, he held a retrospective exhibition celebrating 40 years of his work at the Villa Rot Museum in Germany, with his works permanently collected by institutions such as the German Bundestag, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, the Städtisches Kunstmuseum Singen, the German Embassy in Argentina, Deutsche Bank, private museums Kunstwerk, and Museum Ritter, among others.

(Spain , b. 1954)
Riera i Aragó (Barcelona 1954) belongs to that generation of artists who in the eighties took up the languages of painting and sculpture, being one of the protagonists of the recovery of the sculptural practice that the avant-garde of the thirties, from of iron, they had begun. After the dematerialization of the work of art that conceptual art entailed, and once pictorial informalism in all its versions had been exhausted, they discovered in the eighties that sculpture unrelated to statuary and naturalism had enormous expressive possibilities and at the same time, he was capable of conversing with the urban scene, the center of modern life. As one of the followers of those avant-garde, in the beginning he maintained a special sensitivity for traditional materials -iron, bronze, wood...-, which, many times, he recovered and recycled to focus all his plastic discourse on the environment of archeology of machinery.

He develops multi-referential works which play with spatial environments and promote multiple interpretations. Recent exhibitions include Artists & Robots at the Grand Palais in Paris (2018), Cybernetic Consciousness at Itaú cultural in São Paulo (2017) and the Venice Biennale (2013). In 2020, he achieved the creation of a permanent public artwork, Double Connection, nearly one hundred metres long in the centre of Shanghai.

The diverse materials he employs, including pencil, acrylic paint, clay, and charcoal, contribute to the layered and open-ended nature of his works. The exhibition will showcase Olaberria's latest works from 2023, inviting viewers to perceive and fill the gaps between their past experiences and the artwork.
