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.

Biography

Joan Canyelles (b. Pòrtol, 1987) is a Spanish artist currently based in Mallorca.

After graduating with a Master of Arts (MA) in Humanities from the University of Aberdeen in 2009, he continued his academic training with a master’s degree in Cartography from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), followed by a specialisation in Graphic Design through the California Institute of the Arts’ Open Learning programme. He has also completed five years of training in ceramics at the Marratxí School of Ceramics.

His practice explores the subtle symbiosis between the visual registers of language, communication and territory, drawing on historical archives related to typography, graphic design and cartography. By examining the connections between these fields, Canyelles’s work establishes a distinctive visual identity through a reductive approach to form, colour and texture. His practice spans a range of media, including painting, sculpture, photography and installation.
