  ALEJANDRO CORUJEIRA (Buenos Aires, 1961). "Big mouth", 2001. Mixed media on canvas. With a small patch on the back and stamp of the Galería de arte May More (Madrid). Signed on the back. Size: 250 x 230 cm. In this work the author uses an abstract language, based on irregular geometry, with an organic character both in its outline and in the colours. It is an open style, whose basic characteristic is the conception of the pictorial surface as a whole, as an open field, without limits and without hierarchy. Thus, as we see here, the pictorial forms are the result of a thought-out composition and experimentation, with an image of a gestural nature, not limited to a composition but going beyond it, indicating to the spectator that it is about forms, ideas or suggestions that go beyond the frontiers of the purely pictorial. Alejandro Corujeira began his training in his hometown, studying Fine Arts. After finishing his degree he decided to move to Madrid in 1991. He first entered the art circuit through his work with the May More Gallery, until 2002 when he moved to the emblematic Marlborough Gallery. During this period he continued his training through grants and artistic residencies, such as his stay at the Spanish Academy in Rome, in New York and at the Joseph Albers Foundation. He has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions internationally. Examples of this are his exhibitions in Mexico, Miami, Panama, Caracas and New York, among others. In Spain, where he has developed a large part of his artistic career, the one he held in 2002 for the Espacio Uno of the Reina Sofía National Museum stands out, although he has also exhibited in other very important centres in the Spanish art scene, such as the IVAM, the Barjola Museum, or the Iberoamerican House in Cadiz. Today his work can be found in important private collections, such as the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros collection and in major internationally recognised art spaces, such as the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, and the Banco de España collection.
