The Ejea de los Caballeros Art and Exhibition Center hosts a retrospective exhibition of the Zaragoza-based graphic artist Sergio Aragón. With a total of 80 works, this exhibition is presented as the most comprehensive to date of his work, highlighting the series «Paralaje,» completed in 2024.
A look at the most emblematic series
The exhibition is structured around three main series by Aragón: «Paralaje» (2024), «Caza Humana» (2023), and «Una Danza Macabra» (2016–2025). «Caza Humana» was awarded the Accésit of the Santa Isabel Art Prize, while «Una Danza Macabra» received the Extraordinary Prize of the Plastic Arts and Design Education of Aragón and the National Prize from the Ministry of Culture. The works explore themes such as violence, death, and individualism, using the contrast between black and white to enhance their message.

In addition, more than a dozen original plates are displayed alongside preparatory drawings, allowing visitors to appreciate Aragón’s creative process. Other techniques featured include lithography, embossing, and photogravure, showcasing the artist’s versatility in the use of printmaking.
