This solo show dedicated to the Italian painter Giorgio Griffa (Turin, 1936) culminates the cycle of projects that began in summer 2024 with the presentation of #MateriaSpirituale, his intervention at the Monastery of Santa María de Bujedo de Juarros, in Burgos, followed by the large installation Dionisio Due, an unexhibited piece created by Griffa in the eighties, which caught everyone's gaze at the recent ARCO 2025.

On this occasion, we present a careful selection of works across the gallery's four rooms, spanning from the early 1970s to the beginning of the current decade. The show invites viewers to explore more than five decades of rigorous and deeply poetic artistic practice, marked by gesture, material, rhythm, and even silence.

In the late 1960s, Giorgio Griffa developed a personal abstract approach focused on gesture, rhythm and matter. Although linked to figures of Italian art such as Anselmo, Zorio and the Merzes, his career has always been unique. After decades of little recognition, his work has been recognized by institutions such as the Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève, the Serralves Foundation in Porto, the Camden Art Centre, and the Centre Pompidou. His works emphasize materiality, reducing their materials and processes to the most essential elements, such as the canvas, colour, and brushstrokes, in the style of rhythmic dashes and lines.
