Born and raised in New York City, Ricky Powell is a legendary photographer who specializes in the environmental portrait. He graduated with an AA in Liberal Arts from LaGuardia Community College and a B.S. in Physical Education from Hunter College. Though Powell initially rose to fame because of his relationship with the Beastie Boys, he is well-known for his intimate photographs that have been featured in The New York Times, The New York Post, The Daily News, The Village Voice, TIME, Newsweek, VIBE, The Source, Rolling Stone, and more. 

Born in the southeastern Spanish region of Murcia, his multidisciplinary practice spans painting, video art, installation, scenography, and cinema. His work has been presented in nearly twenty solo exhibitions in cities such as Murcia, New York, Puerto Rico, and Shanghai, as well as in numerous group shows across Spain and internationally.

He has participated in the ARCO art fair (Madrid) on two occasions and in CIRCA (Puerto Rico), positioning his work within the framework of leading contemporary art fairs and festivals. His moving-image works have also been featured in several national and international film festivals, underscoring his sustained exploration of experimental narrative and the poetics of perception.

Artistas:
Javier Martín, Reload, Ramón González Palazón, Vanitira

Javier Martin (Spain, 1985) is a multidisciplinary artist who bases his creative exploration on the careful observation of his surroundings, detecting semiotic relationships that might otherwise pass by unnoticed to an unperceptive viewer. With this approach, the artist constructs situations that invite reflection on impending matters in today’s world.

Javier Martin presented his first solo museum exhibition at the Seoul Museum in Spring 2019 and his first solo exhibition in Japan at Maki Gallery on the fall of 2019.

Reload emerges as an artistic collective led by the renowned artist and performer Arcangel Soul, whose extensive international career lends depth and distinction to the project. This collection revisits emblematic icons of art, offering a renewed perspective on time — a tribute etched in stone. True to its name, Reload positions itself as a revitalizing force, one that seeks to transcend expressive boundaries by infusing traditional sculptural materials with a sense of playfulness, all while preserving a refined and meticulous technique. It reimagines the solemnity of classical stonework through a contemporary lens, rendering the ancient both accessible and dynamic.

This project has been realized in collaboration with the Museo de Archena in the Region of Murcia, reinforcing the dialogue between contemporary creation and cultural heritage.
