On Friday, November 14 at 8:00 p.m., Galería Luisa Pita opens Óxido, the third solo exhibition by artist Arturo Álvarez (Pontevedra, 1964). The show presents seven new sculptures made of iron and metal mesh, inaugurating a new line of research focused on materiality, time, and oxidation.
In Óxido, Álvarez reflects on deterioration and transformation as metaphors for contemporary society, while also pointing toward renewal and hope. Inspired by the natural processes of decay and regeneration, he offers a visual and symbolic journey that explores the expressive beauty and quiet strength of the material itself.

The “Xenerais da Ulla” is the most outstanding feature of the Ulla region’s traditional Carnival. It has been held in the surroundings of Santiago since the first half of the 19th century: the “Xenerais” (generals) ride on horseback, dressed in colourful military garments similar to those of that time, but they also include purely carnivalesque adornments, which the horses also wear.
