Press Release Isabel Croxatto Galería CAN Art Fair Madrid 2026
On the occasion of its 10th anniversary — now CAN Art Fair, formerly UVNT — the fair consolidates itself as a platform for cultural reflection and projection. Isabel Croxatto Galería returns for its third consecutive year, reaffirming its commitment to the international projection of Latin American contemporary art.
In the FOCO LATAM section, curated by Cristian Viveros-Fauné, the gallery presents a duo by Carolina Muñoz and Nelson Hernández under the framework of New Surrealisms. As the curator states: “New Surrealisms is not a revival, but a critical and contemporary rereading of that impulse which sought to free the image from the limits of representation and open art to the flows of the unconscious, the dreamlike, and the symbolic.” He further notes: “Amid technological acceleration and the collapse of meaning, art once again becomes a field of resistance, where the irrational is no longer a deviation but a path toward emotional and existential truth.”
Within this context, Convertida en Flor and Fever Dreams activate painting as a space where the visible fractures and the invisible take form. Muñoz explores bodily transformation and vegetal fusion as psychic territory shaped by memory and vulnerability. Hernández employs digital layering and perceptual instability to capture the simultaneity of a globalized world.
In the Galleries section, the gallery presents new works by Mara Faúndez, Joaquín Reyes, and Vicente Prieto Gaggero — including ceramic sculpture — expanding the material and symbolic dialogue around body and image.
This participation is made possible thanks to the support of Chile’s Ministry of Culture, Arts, and Heritage.
