INSIDE DE STUDIO
Arte Santander 2025
Julio 11 > Julio 15
Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos, Santander, Cantabria
Mario Antón. Inside the Studio For its participation in Arte Santander 2025, Lariot Collective presents a solo project by Cantabrian artist Mario Antón (Santander, 1993) through an immersive installation that recreates his studio within the fair stand. Rather than simply exhibiting finished works, the proposal invites visitors into the artist’s intimate creative environment—an atmosphere charged with time, meaning, and reflection. The studio is approached here as a symbolic and almost ritual space, where the work is not only the outcome but also process, hesitation, gesture, and thought. This curatorial approach seeks to bring the viewer closer to the context in which the image is born, where tools, materials, traces of labor, and silent intentions coexist. More than a scenography, this environment operates as a living extension of Antón’s conceptual universe. Antón’s practice revolves around the recovery and reinterpretation of antique religious triptychs, which he transforms with new imagery and symbolism. Drawing on medieval and Renaissance painting, he develops a process of reverse restoration: removing the original image, treating the wood, and composing a new visual narrative. These triptychs become vessels for contemporary concerns, addressing ecological, spiritual, and political questions through a language rooted in memory. With this project, the aura of the studio itself becomes a curatorial value. Against the backdrop of a fast-paced, spectacle-driven art world, the installation proposes a slower, more contemplative encounter—one that centers on the origin of the image and the material truth of what is shaped by hand. It is an invitation to look closely, to read between the lines, and to reclaim the profound significance of the act of creation.

Lariot Collective presents in his booth
“Ramblings of time”:
A period of time is long because of the succession of much movement. The past and future present a significant challenge: how can they exist if the past is no longer and the future is not yet? This suggests that only the present is real, though it is fleeting and always in flux. The notion of an eternal present is intriguing, with the present potentially divided into memory (past), immediate perception (present), and expectation (future). Yet, human perception often sees the present as an infinitesimal point moving continuously from the past to the future.
ESTAMPA 2024
17 to October 20, 2024
IFEMA Madrid
BOOTH 5C11
PAVILION 5
We are pleased to announce our first-time participation in Estampa Art Fair presenting "Nostalgia":
Among the many ways we could express the experience of absence or loss, nostalgia stands out as an extraordinarily unique phenomenon. It is a fragment that dissolves, leaving no trace behind. It speaks of the past from the awareness of the present, and it is wasted in the very act of becoming conscious.
Together, Mario Antón, Borja Colom, Ernesto Crespo, Golnaz Payani, and José Luis Serzo explore various forms of representing nostalgia, memories, and the paradoxes they pose, immersing us in realms that take us back to our own memories.
UVNT ART FAIR 2024
March 7th - 10th
Matadero Madrid
We are pleased to announce our participation in the eighth edition of Urvanity Art Fair that this year will be held at the Matadero de Madrid from March 7th to 10th during Madrid’s Art Week presenting works by Sofía Fernández Stenström, Mario Antón, Ernesto Crespo and Santiago Talavera.

“Archives of the future”:
In the study of temporality and how we make absent things present, we mainly focus on ways of making present the past. Instead, little has been said about making present what could be or will be in the future. Together, Sofia Stenström, Santiago Talavera, Ernesto Crespo, and Mario Antón address the different forms of personification of the future. They explore the different ways in which the future always emerges from the relationship with the past and the present, and may be represented as eternal return of the same.
UVNT ART FAIR 2023
February 23th - 26th 2023
Madrid, COAM. Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos Madrid
Pleased to announce our participation at the seventh edition of UVNT Art Fair that will be held at the COAM in Madrid from the 23rd of February to the 26th presenting works by Diana Zrnic and Ernesto Crespo.
Lariot Collective presented a duo show with works by Diana Zrnic (Croatia 1995) and Ernesto Crespo (Cuba 1994). The synergy between both artists starts with the concept of the image of the human body.
Through this, Diana works on the relationship between painting and sculpture and looks at the body as a co-processor of all information within reality and she reflects on how the body transforms into an extension of the world in which it is situated; while Ernesto’s work revolves around the construction of the image within the pictorial and cinematographic languages. In his works he becomes a storyteller where his protagonists represent his response to the world around us and essentially to nature and human feeling.
Diana and Ernesto’s works invite the spectator to see the world as a stage where their protagonists are merely players.
URVANITY ART FAIR 2022
24 Feb - 27 Feb 2022
MADRID COAM - El Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos
Lariot Collective presented a duo show: Santiago Talavera (1979) - Mario Antón (1993), a mirror that shows a dystopian reality that responds to the current state of global uncertainty.
Mario Antón, through an exercise to recover used materials (religious triptychs), reflects on the future of our planet, the force of nature and climate change. While the drawings (hybrids between pencil, paint and collage) by Santiago Talavera take us to imaginary places of dystopian scenes in which the human being is represented through the impact of his actions and the viewer is the only witness of his havoc.

JUSTMAD
08 Jul - 11 Jul 2021
Palacio Neptuno, Calle de Cervantes 42, Madrid
Lariot Collective presented a mythological journey through transformation and metamorphosis: the humanoid figures on the paintings by Barquero, often, without gender, walking through desolate and empty landscapes, hopeless. A mirror of the contemporary world, where survival has become the only way of living; the delicate face masks and sculptures created by a net of sewed wire by Giacomo: mythological animals like the minotaur or the unicorn will perform around the space, remarking how it is important to follow its own primordial instinct with transparency.
URVANITY ART
27 May - 30 May 2021
MADRID COAM - El Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos
Lariot Collective presented a duo show with works by Richard Burton (London) and Mario Antón (Cantabria). The synergy between both artists starts with the concept of family memory. Through this, Richard rethinks on his childhood memory focusing on car interiors: their seats, materials and textures; while Mario does it on dualities and destruction as a natural principle with the background of his grandmother’s religious triptychs.
URVANITY SOLO SHOWS 2021

A presentation of works by IZAAK BRANDT, London based multidisciplinary artist. Using the ‘body’ as his starting point he explores the mediums of sculpture, painting, film and performance. Brandt’s work draws feelingly from his career as an international dancer. Breakdancing has taken Brandt all over the world and through the form he’s developed intense self discipline, energy and a love of experimentation.
