Mirades Urbanes: l’Art sobre persianes

The photographic exhibition "Mirades Urbanes" shows how graffiti in Barcelona has evolved from furtive vandalism into ephemeral, commercial art commissioned by the shopkeepers themselves.

The exhibition looks at how this form of expression has moved from clandestine interventions to commissioned work requested directly by local shopkeepers. Visitors move through the rooms to view a set of expressionist-style faces captured on the streets, as well as a nostalgic series devoted to classic cars painted on metal shutters and garages.

The show brings together the work of photographers Alfons Campillo and Antoni Limpo, members of the group Racó de la Foto, who document these ephemeral interventions in the Barcelona landscape. The exhibition is presented in the Sala d'Exposicions, a cultural space in Barcelona devoted to hosting photography exhibitions and various artistic initiatives aimed at visitors interested in urban visual expression.
