La Plataforma

From March 5 to 8, we will participate for the first time in the 10th edition of CAN Madrid Art Fair, as part of Madrid Art Week. This edition marks a new milestone with the fair’s name change — CAN (Contemporary Art Now) — reinforcing its focus on today’s contemporary practices and bringing together 50 national and international galleries in one of its largest editions to date.

From La Plataforma we present recent works by Aleix Font Arroyo, Nina Murashkina and Per Henrik Adolfsson. Additionally, we present a special collaboration between Nina Murashkina and Xavier Escala.

ALEIX FONT ARROYO

Aleix Font Arroyo [a.k.a. Rata Con Corbata] is an artist who explores space, emptiness, boundaries, and identity, using the grid as a symbol of order and control. His work combines graffiti—stains, drips, and spontaneous strokes—with analytical processes. Through compositions that range from minimalism to complexity, he investigates the tension between chaos and structure, the individual and the collective, inviting the viewer to question how we inhabit space and construct meaning.

NINA MURASHKINA

Nina Murashkina is a Ukrainian multidisciplinary artist currently living in Spain. Murashkina’s vibrant aesthetic is influenced by Ukrainian naïve art, Indian and Japanese imagery, as well as ancient mythology. Her divinely inspired heroines embody the dual nature of women: lustful yet innocent, provocative yet tender, brutally honest yet darkly mysterious.

PER HENRIK ADOLFSSON

Adolfsson creates dreamlike, surreal landscapes by combining photographs, drawings, and scraps from old magazines. His collages emanate a dark aura, yet contain hints of irony and absurdity. His works are fragments of a narrative thread that unfolds in dreamlike horizons and films that only his imagination can direct, often drawing on his earliest memories of a somber Sweden, nostalgically reflecting the childhood he spent on the periphery of urban life. 

NINA MURASHKINA AND XAVIER ESCALA

‘Princesa’ is the latest collaboration between Nina Murashkina and Xavier Escala. Inspired by medieval opening virgins, this work allows both artists to intertwine their creative energies to express the idea of a female divinity that dwells within women. On one hand, the face sculpted by Xavier; on the other, Nina’s ceramic polyptych.
