Restless Figures


Restless Figures brings together works in conscious dialogue  with a long history of bodies under pressure — from Cézanne's bathers to Picasso's fractured figures, from Bacon's isolated flesh to the violence and seductive force that flows when bodies share a space. Where those predecessors fixed the figure, Santiago Alcon dissolves it: his garçons emerge and disappear within their compositions, present enough to be felt, unstable enough to resist certainty.




What remains is energy, memory, and the social pulse — grotesque and fragile in equal measure — that shapes who we are.
