Artists
LCB presents projects by some of the most talented visual artists emerging onto the international circuit from across the world.
We work closely with our artists to produce site-specific shows within the gallery space, and public interventions outside La Caja Blanca, whilst acting as a platform to launch them internationally through participation in specialised art fairs.

The works Yara El-Sherbini presents in her first solo exhibition rely heavily on humour, and are far from politically correct.
With the characteristic defiance of youth, Yara’s artistic discourse homes in on so called “sensitive issues”, and invites the viewer to temporarily suspend disengagement.
Since 2003, with the help of grants awarded from the Rotary Club Palma Ramon Llull, Fundación Pilar i Joan Miró and Sa Nostra, Moratinos has enjoyed various opportunities to spend time and work in New York.

Controversial artist Regina Galindo is
considered to be one of the most subversive voices in
contemporary art today.
Despite having exhibited
worldwide, to great international acclaim – In 2005,
Galindo was awarded the prestigious Leone de Oro, at the
51st Bienale di Venezia for best young artist – her work
remains decidedly anti-establishment.
Galindo’s is first and foremost a performance artist who
uses her own body to enact and denounce the themes
which dominate her artistic discourse.
