Investment alternatives: from the new Rolex to the art of Iván Forcadell for Badr El Jundi

Inspired by the experimental watch that accompanied filmmaker and explorer James Cameron during his historic dive into the Mariana Trench (down to -10,908 meters) on March 26, 2012, the Deepsea Challenge marks a new milestone in the world of timepieces. diving created by Rolex. With a waterproof guarantee up to a depth of 11,000 meters, it has the ability to resist immersions in open water, in a submersible and in a hyperbaric chamber.

The Badr El Jundi gallery inaugurates a space in Madrid with the exhibition by Iván Forcadell titled 10542. The exhibition is made up only of self-portraits on two supports: around thirty works on canvas and a dozen on ceramics.

With a lot of color and provocation, large doses of self-criticism and self-recognition, the artist reflects on himself that takes him back to his childhood, nature, human relationships and the rural environment where he was born.

Always from an ironic perspective. Forcadell, who has decided to live and work on the periphery of art, in his hometown of Alcanar (Tarragona), thus inaugurates the Badr El Jundi headquarters in Madrid. It happens two years after the gallery began its activity in Marbella, during which time it has established itself as a gateway for international artists –unpublished in the Spanish market– and as a platform to publicize local talent abroad.

The heirs of Sigfrido Martín Begué (an artist of the eighties who died 12 years ago) have launched three jewelery collections together with the goldsmith Chus Burés to keep his art alive.

They are Los Sentidos, a reissue of the collection that both artists made in the nineties; UFO, based on a flying saucer designed by Siegfried, but which could not be produced at the time, and UMMO, in which Chus Burés uses a highly symbolic element of the work of the honored jeweler as the central element of the collection.
