The Canary Islands:<br />
ADVENTURES IN ART<br />
There must be something in the air! The Canary Islands always unleash<br />
a creative spirit. From Canarian basketry that use the pírgano and palmettos<br />
of date palm trees to the handmade ceramics, you’ll find independent shops<br />
teeming with one-of-a-kind artisanal products. And these sunny islands have<br />
produced and inspired some legendary contemporary artists too.<br />
Come with us as we take you on some adventures in art!<br />
GRAN CANARIA<br />
NÉSTOR MARTÍN-FERNÁNDEZ DE LA TORRE<br />
If you like art deco, then you’re in for a treat! Arguably one of<br />
the most important symbolist and modernist painters in Europe,<br />
Néstor was born in the island capital of Las Palmas towards the<br />
end of the 19th century where the endemic flora and fauna was<br />
his muse. After touring Europe’s great cities, he returned to his<br />
roots in the 1930s to set up his studio.<br />
Head to Museo Néstor in the centre of Las Palmas to see his<br />
imaginative paintings, including his great work Poema de los<br />
Elementos, a series of eight oil-on-canvas paintings that depict<br />
water. More elemental paintings were planned but sadly the<br />
artist left the world early and unexpectedly due to complications<br />
from pneumonia.<br />
LA REGENTA ART CENTRE<br />
In downtown Las Palmas within a former tobacco factory, this<br />
art gallery celebrates local Canarian artists with a range of<br />
mediums. Throughout the year it plays host to contemporary<br />
exhibitions and artistic events.<br />
ATLANTIC CENTRE OF MODERN ART (CAAM)<br />
Given its proximity and historic ties to Africa, America, and Europe,<br />
it makes sense that the Old Town of Las Palmas accommodates a<br />
museum that connects contemporary art from all three continents.<br />
With free admission, it’s a fascinating stop to take in a temporary<br />
exhibition or two - plus it has an excellent shop if you’re seeking<br />
artsy souvenirs!<br />
