This is ‘Rome’, the bravest Sanz i Vila’s exhibition

This is Rome. A set of artworks where violence, pain and death are offered in the form of a spectacle, all of them merge with Sanz i Vila’s cheerful color palette. Ten exclusive and original pieces that represent a creative milestone for the Gunter Gallery’s artist, in which movement and strength are channeled through the fight of these gladiators. "This work brings us to a balance in order to forget horror for an instant and observe, as the Romans themselves did at the time, suffering as simple visual pleasure". The work of Sanz i Vila is one of the most recognizable in the spectrum of European illustrators, always working with yellow, pink and blue as the only three colors, to which, in rarely ocasions, he adds the outline of black. It is an optimistic and genderless work, between new pop and realism, a contemporary figuration that, in this exhibition, Rome, speaks of the reality of our time through gladiators from the 1st century BC.

Two fighters know theend for one of them is close, and they will be linked for that moment forever.

Looking at the past helps us to see that everything could have been different. Knowing how to react quickly at the exact moment can change everything in a second.

‘When you aspire to reach the highest position, remember that second, or third position is honourable’.
