Ibiza’s Neon Muse: When Radical London Art Finds a Sun-Soaked Island Home
On Ibiza’s quieter northern edge, a gallery with breast-shaped chandeliers and pink bar stools is rewriting the island’s creative script. Gathering, born in London’s post-lockdown art scene, has landed in Spain with a taste for the unexpected—think geometric fiberglass abstractions, tulip collages, and hallucinatory CGI films.
Founder Alex Flick saw Ibiza’s untapped potential as a contemporary art hub, especially as the CAN art fair brings new momentum. Gathering’s debut show, “Substance,” spotlights artists who push boundaries, echoing the gallery’s London roots where experimental practices are the main event. Flick’s approach is refreshingly direct: art must resonate emotionally and intellectually, no matter the artist’s background.
This expansion isn’t just about geography—it’s about creating immersive experiences and building a community where radical creativity thrives. As Ibiza’s art scene wakes up, Gathering proves that even the sunniest islands can have a taste for the avant-garde.
