Nestor Sanmiguel Diest | An Introduction

09.01.–06.02.2016

carlier | gebauer is pleased to present the solo exhibition with the Spanish artist Néstor Sanmiguel Diest. An Introduction is the artist’s first exhibition with carlier | gebauer. 

Néstor Sanmiguel Diest is a founding member of the A Ua Crat collective and a leading figure of the 1980s avant-garde in Aragon. This intimate selection of paintings precedes a larger exhibition with the gallery in February 2016. 

Formally trained in couture and pattern-making, Sanmiguel Diest originally hails from an applied arts background. Traces of his former profession appear at times as a subtle motif in some of his works, such as the drawing El Vestido de Mayte (22/10/99) but his work as a pattern maker — combined with his voracious interest in literature and philosophy — has exerted a broader influence on the artist’s schematic thinking and the quasi-mathematical structures that inform his creative process.
