JUAN GOMILA (Barcelona, 1942). Untitled. Mixed media on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. Size: 17 x 24 cm; 44 x 52 cm (frame). Juan Gomila is one of the leading artists on the Spanish post-Pop Art scene. He began his work in the sixties, focusing on the reflection on the value of colour and signs in a world saturated with signs. In 1974 he represented Spain at the Alexandria Biennial, winning First Prize, and three years later he also represented Spain at the São Paulo Biennial. In 1978 he won Second Prize for Painting at the VII International Biennial of Sport in the Fine Arts (Barcelona), and in 1980 he again represented Spain, this time at the Venice Biennial. In 2007 he began to work exclusively with digital photography, and the following year he presented a major retrospective exhibition at the Barjola Museum in Gijón. He is currently represented in the MNCA Reina Sofía, the Contemporary Art Museums of Vilafamés, Palma de Mallorca and Bialystock (Poland), the Biblioteca Comunale in Milan, the Museo Jovellanos in Gijón, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias, the Textil de la Indumentaria in Barcelona, the Salvador Allende in Santiago de Chile, the collections of the Consejo Superior de Deportes, Argentaria, Caja de Asturias, Azcona and Pere A. Serra and the Masaveu and Aena Foundations.
