The exhibition, by artists Dea Gómez and Diego Omil, officially opened this Thursday. At the event, the Vice-rector of Culture, Language and Heritage, Ana Cabana, championed the USC as a "space for the production and transmission of knowledge where culture must be integrated".
Los Bravú display a figurative pictorial language, infused with surrealist echoes and neomanierist virtuosity. Their images merge contemporary design, fanzines, mass media, and an academic aesthetic, creating a cartography where narrative opens towards a symbolic dimension.
In their work, territory functions not as a picturesque backdrop but as a spiritual landscape, a force field where the telluric dictates body posture and alters the perception of the everyday. From this vibration, the exhibition revisits graphic narrative through large-scale canvases pulsing with contemporary urgency.
Dea Gómez and Diego Omil, who have collaborated since 2012, state that their images encrypt the desires of our time. "Exhibiting in a space like this is a true luxury, and this space and its setup have much to do with our way of constructing," they explained, adding that the exhibition "connects directly with tradition, symbolism, and the accumulation of images, leaving space for free interpretation by viewers".
The Vice-rector noted that Gómez and Omil's work dialogues with popular cultures and collective imaginaries. "The exhibition title refers to a very Galician idea that landscapes are not just physical or geographical, but also the people who evolve over time and relate to territories in different ways," she explained.
The exhibition can be visited at the University Church from Tuesday to Friday, between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM.
