Contemporary textile and sculptural abstraction, blending paper tapestry, stitching, spatial installation, and conceptual craft.

In Spectral Voyage, Isabel Nuño de Buen presents a series of paper tapestries and sculptural works that resist flatness — physically and conceptually.

The pieces have fronts and backs, interiors and exteriors, folds and openings. Stitching becomes drawing. Patchwork becomes a system of emotional and spatial connections.

You’re watching:

• Fragile surfaces transformed into architectural forms
• Textile-like structures made from paper
• Shadows, cuts, folds, and suspended geometries
• Works that feel somewhere between sculpture, map, and memory

The exhibition feels tactile, intimate, and quietly immersive.

Yes — especially if you’re interested in material experimentation and slower contemporary art experiences.

Because this exhibition challenges the idea of painting as a flat image.

Nuño de Buen creates works that you almost read physically — through layers, textures, seams, and space. In a contemporary art world dominated by spectacle, Spectral Voyage feels precise, thoughtful, and deeply crafted.

And inside Madrid’s growing Carabanchel gallery scene, it becomes part of a larger movement redefining contemporary art spaces in the city.

Move around the works slowly → many pieces change depending on angle and shadow

Pay attention to materials → fragility is part of the meaning

Observe the seams and stitching → they function almost like drawing lines

Don’t treat it like a traditional painting show → think spatially

Artlovers tip:

This exhibition rewards proximity.

Get close enough to notice how delicate the constructions really are.
