Carreras Mugica is delighted to present “CONTRA EL OLVIDO  .Homenajes y Ofrendas”, Ángel Bados’ second exhibition at the gallery. In it you will be able to see his latest works made with materials as diverse as cardboard, textile, bronze and various objects. 
Ángel Bados (Olazagutia, 1945) studied Fine Arts at the Real Academia de San Fernando in Madrid, where he graduated in 1973, specialising in sculpture. In the mid 1970s he developed his artistic work in Pamplona in the field of conceptual art and installations.

From the beginning and throughout his professional career, he has combined his work as a sculptor with teaching art.
In 1983 he moved to Bilbao, where he became a lecturer in the Sculpture Department of the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of the Basque Country. There he came into contact with a series of artists (Tx. Badiola, J. L. Moraza, P. Irazu, M. L. Fernández) with whom he shared a studio. From the proximity between them and the discussions they held on the art of the time, the group known as Nueva Escultura Vasca (New Basque Sculpture) emerged, which contributed to the renewal of Spanish art in the 1980s.
