NATIONAL PRIZE ON FINE ARTS | PEDRO G. ROMERO

In September 2024, the Alarcón Criado Gallery inaugurated the 2024/2025 season in a new exhibition space. Located in front of the Castillo de San Jorge, in the former Santa Ana Ceramics factory and adjacent to the Triana Ceramics Center, the gallery opened its new facilities with an exhibition by Pedro G. Romero entitled “What Flamenco teaches us”.
Coinciding with this inauguration, Pedro G. Romero was recognized with the National Plastic Arts Award “for a consolidated career whose artistic, intellectual and material work encompasses multiple fields of meaning and appaerently opposing formats (sculpture, cinema, archival productions, performances, etc.), integrating curatorial and research practices in his artistic work”.
The jury also emphasized that, in his work, “Pedro G. Romero manages to attend to, rescue and reinsert popular culture in its most ungovernable expressions in our public sphere, investigating in a genealogical way the aesthetic and symbolic manifestations of those communities that were robbed or not recognized as having a space for representation.
