As part of their artistic work, Los Bravú scrutinise and interpret those forms of cultural expression that are continually marginalised and thus excluded from the canon of contemporary creative practice. The first solo exhibition organised by the El Apartamento gallery is a good example of this and, with more than 20 works, also outlines both the popular traditions and the rich magical thinking that nourish the duo.
Since its inception, the artistic project of Los Bravú, a duo formed by Dea Gómez (Salamanca, 1989) and Dea Gómez (Pontevedra, 1988), has been a continuous invitation to the viewer to travel through the territory where the opposing elements of dichotomies touch and perhaps dissolve: high and low culture, academic art and avant-garde art, for example.

Throughout their career, Los Bravú have showcased the heritage elements of the imagery that is still alive today in their native lands: Galicia and Castile. Not surprisingly, the exhibition is structured like a stage set where the archetypes of the collective unconscious resonate with contemporary echoes and mystery is revealed as a spiritual landscape. Thanks to Donde el aire es fresco y las flores tiemblan (Where the air is fresh and the flowers shiver), visitors to El Apartamento will discover the unique identity beyond the history treasured in their pictorial work.
Los Bravú also wanted their methodological approach and artistic research to be evident in the exhibition. For this reason, the studio and/or laboratory, understood as a concept, will play a leading role in the exhibition.
