The one from Bilbao Nadia BarkateFor his part, he will receive the Gure Artea award in recognition of creative activity. “His artistic work is mainly focused on drawing: it could be said that, at present, although sometimes complemented with works in blown glass, all his work is a single drawing, most of the time in black and white, although with some punctual incursions into the world of color.It is like a great image or a great fiction in a continuous process of construction, without haste, through the sum of the fragments that it shows in the exhibitions that it carries out, and that continues to grow incessantly giving body and image to a world of her own, with which its author has a personal relationship, in the sense of relating to it as if she were being honest with another person”, argued the jury.

In the activity section carried out by different agents in the field of plastic and visual arts, the Gure Artea award will go to the anti bookstore.

According to the jury, “since it opened its doors 20 years ago in the San Francisco neighborhood of Bilbao, it has become a fundamental meeting place between the field of letters, thought and plastic and visual arts. Through a careful bibliographic collection and a rich program of public and free activities, Anti’s contribution to the artistic and cultural fabric of Bilbao and the Basque context is unique”. According to the jury, “his contribution is measured on a day-to-day basis, in each new artist’s book that he publishes, in each exhibition that he hosts, in each workshop, presentation or performance that has been enjoyed there for two decades.”
