RocioSantaCruz gallery has received the 2026 GAC Award for Best Exhibition in the Mid-Career Artist category for La campana còsmica i el llac que respira by Dionis Escorsa, during the Nit del Galerisme celebration held at MACBA.
Awarded by Galeries d’Art de Catalunya, this recognition represents a great joy for the entire gallery team and an encouragement to continue developing projects committed to contemporary creation and to maintaining a close relationship with artists.
With La campana còsmica i el llac que respira, RocioSantaCruz presented Dionis Escorsa’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. The project proposed a reflection on memory, representation, and intergenerational transmission through a dialogue between painting, drawing, and contemporary technological tools. The exhibition drew from elements connected to family memory and landscape —such as the bell tower of Tavèrnoles or the Sau reservoir— to create a visual and sensory experience in which light, atmosphere, and time played a central role.
The exhibition brought audiences closer to an artistic practice that combines traditional media and contemporary technologies, generating immersive environments in which viewers are invited to actively participate in the symbolic space of the work.
We would especially like to thank Galeries d’Art de Catalunya, the GAC Awards jury, and MACBA for making possible another edition of the Nit del Galerisme, a key event within the artistic and gallery ecosystem. We also extend our sincerest thanks to Dionis Escorsa for his trust, commitment, and generosity throughout the entire exhibition process.
Finally, we would like to thank everyone who visited, shared, and supported this exhibition. This award also belongs to all those who believe in contemporary art as a space for reflection, sensitivity, and encounter.
