Curated by Mónica Álvarez Careaga Forest is a topic of European culture. In the overall analysis of intellectual appropriation of nature that creates the idea of landscape, it occupies a very important position. Its symbolic complexity has been analysed as regarding the maternal and feminine. The forest is a place of abundance and darkness. It is a mysterious place where fantasy becomes reality. This exhibition “The Clearing in the Forest” brings together six artists living and working in Cantabria (Spain). Their work is dominated by formal interest and connects us with universal aspirations of significance.
