Galería Reus is a contemporary art gallery based in Mallorca whose trajectory dates back to 2003. Over the years, the project has evolved through different forms of collaboration and programming, consolidating itself as a space dedicated to the research, production, and dissemination of contemporary art.

The gallery works with emerging and mid-career artists, supporting the development of their practices while creating a context for dialogue, experimentation, and reflection around the diverse forms of contemporary artistic expression. Its program is characterized by a diversity of languages and approaches, as well as an interest in establishing connections between the local artistic scene and the international context.

From Mallorca, Galería Reus aims to actively contribute to the contemporary cultural ecosystem by promoting projects that encourage exchange, artistic research, and the development of new perspectives.

INFLATION - SOLO SHOW

Inflation 📈 explores the cultural phenomenon of the inflated body and the impact it has on our perception of beauty and consumer value along three axes: Bimbos, bodybuilders and pregnant women, using me to try to hack AI and the amateur aesthetics of Deviant Art. 

The comparison between capitalist inflation and body inflation is striking. Inflation, the phenomenon of rising prices and currency devaluation, is often the result of unchecked economic growth and speculation. Similarly, body inflation, the cultural obsession with transforming the body to conform to a certain ideal, is often driven by a culture of uncontrolled beauty standards and consumerism.

Likewise, subcultural trends appear through the filter of desire, such as the controversial phenomenon of bimbofication, which promotes exaggerated and hypersexualised feminine attributes as the ultimate ideal, and others with a perverse reverse in internet fan arts aimed at the pornography of philias and perversions such as hypertrophied pregnancies, extreme bodybuilding, gigantism or body magic illusion. In addition, the show also includes conceptual work with energy drink cans and inner tube trainers. These elements accentuate the pressure of an efficiency and consumption culture in the constant search for perfection and success in today's society.
