Under the title Electricidad, zapatos, plumas y Benidorm (Electricity, shoes, feathers and Benidorm) the exhibition displays 16 images that capture the artist's peculiar and rich universe. A skeptical and vitriolic vision of the reality around him, the world of travel, consumption, fair, leisure, artificial paradises where life takes an unknown dimension... Canut looks at codes and social norms from an unusual point of view and presents them according to very personal aesthetic codes.
His first incursion into the world of visual creation took place as part of the artistic selection curated by gallery director Ascension Amaro, in a new art project focused on spreading artistic creation through social media.
According to the curator,
"Nacho is gifted with a sharp eye that allows him to turn into cutting-edge art anything he touches. His background and influences include London's 'punk', the 'chanson française', 'trash', La Codorniz's sarcasm or Berlanga's films. His images show his subtle irony and illustrate a social exercise fraught with poignant second readings."
Dates.- From 4th April until 12th May 2014.
Venue.- Espacio Charada. Jardines, 2. Bilbao. Spain.

NACHO CANUT
Nacho Canut (Valencia, 1957) is a central figure in what came to be called the Madrid 'New Wave'. His musical career began in the late seventies and has placed him at the head of legendary groups like Kaka de Luxe, Pegamoides or Dinarama. Since 1989, along with Alaska, he continues ahead of the avant-garde sound group with Fangoria. His contribution to the Spanish music scene is priceless. Musician, composer, DJ... are many of his creative professions he has combined with his writing in the most varied and diverse formats. As a visual artist, Canut had only released his work through the social networks until his first exhibition held in Bilbao.
