Unfounded Rumours: Javier and Rafa Forteza

You might walk up to what looks like a stone and notice, a few seconds later, that it has a face. That's how Al Cabo de la Calle describes this show. The brothers' works hang mixed together, so you often can't tell whether a canvas is by Javier or Rafa Forteza.

It's their first joint show, 26 paintings and sculptures (17 by Javier, 9 by Rafa), co-produced with Es Baluard in Palma. Javier, a dermatologist by profession, paints androgynous faces that shift between pain and calm; ARS Magazine found they inevitably recall Bacon. Rafa, who left architecture school for painting, works in abstraction, with wide stretches of bare canvas, black lines and sculptures that look like minerals or rubble.

It's a small show that asks for slow looking rather than explanations. Entry is free, so it fits around the €6 exhibitions in the same building. An educator is in the room daily, 11:30 to 13:30 and 17:30 to 19:30, and easy-read, large-print and braille guides are available.
