The exhibition, which will take place in the central art gallery La Aurora that after a very long career is a reference in the city, can be seen from September 21 to October 25.
Jose Quintanilla's work focuses on landscape photography understood as the relationship between man and nature, the alteration of the territory by human action.
The exhibition includes some of the artist's most recent works, worried about the passing of time and inevitably precipitates, transforming everything in its path.
The transit between memory and memories, the attachment to the places lived, the fascination for the ruins, are part of the universe that the artist tries to capture in his work.
To take these photographs, Jose Quintanilla uses a mixture of analog and digital photographic techniques.
Starting from negatives of medium format in black and white transforms the images by passing them to cotton papers that have been previously dyed with organic dyes before printing with pigmented inks.
The staging has always been one of his main concerns, however he has been running the Digigraphic Workshop laboratory in Madrid for 15 years, a national reference for leading artists and photographers.
Part of this work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in Madrid, Asturias and Aragon, although this time he will present some totally unpublished photographs to date.
Jose Quintanilla has received several awards and mentions for these photographs, such as the Asisa Award in 2015 or the Enaire Foundation Awards in 2017 and 2019. He is currently preparing a book that collects all this photographic series under the title TRANSCURSO and that It will be edited before the end of the year.
