Ponce+Robles is the union of two historic Madrilian gallery owners, Raquel Ponce and José Robles. Together they have more than 30 years of experience promoting contemporary Spanish art, and both are regular guests at art fairs like ArcoMadrid, Maco in Mexico DF and, recently, Volta in Basilea. Their new gallery is born with the objective to increment the presence of Spanish artists at international fora, as well as to bring international emergent creativity closer to our market.

The new gallery is located in the same spot where Raquel Ponce gallery used to stand, c/Alameda, 5, and the opening includes the work of artist José Hidalgo-Anastacio. PHYSIS & EGOs is his second individual exhibition, where he will present drawings and installations related to drawing, which is the main axis of his work, always regarding it as a medium to realize different aesthetic explorations.

Location.- C/ Alameda, 5. Madrid. <M> Atocha, Banco de España
Opening times.- Tuesday to Friday: 11:00 a 14:00 / 16:30 a 20:00. Saturdays mornings: 11:00 to 14:00 afternoons private visits.
