Forty years ago, when people in the Canary Islands began to invest in brick, a businessman settling in the islands decided to invest in culture. Little by little, he accumulated some of the archipelago's most powerful contemporary art collections. Now José Luis Tranche has decided to share his treasured art in a unique centre he created: the Canarian Foundation for the Development of Painting.
Located at Calle Domingo J. Navarro 30, he has opened his doors to the public with the exhibition 'Red-hot', which brings together the work of 30 contemporary artists from both Spain and abroad. The selection offers a panoramic view of how art has evolved over the last 40 years. The goal is to promote art in the archipelago and to display the private collection of the founder, who has gathered a pictorial fund of about 700 pieces in different styles, highlighting expressionism, minimalism and abstraction.
The inaugural selection displays the sculpture 'Blonde¿ by Ray Smith, and other pieces by Secundino Hernández, Abraham Lacalle, Katharina Grosse, Joan Gopar and Luis Pamero.
