In autumn 2007 the painters cartageneras à ngela Acedo and Juan Jorquera took a train from Cartagena, to the farthest place they could take that means of transport: the French city of Montpellier.
The stay was not very long and circumstances do not matter too much because the real journey would develop in the coming months in the studios of the artists, recreating, living longer and distances less tangible but more exciting, a few miles memory facts, wishes and dreams, travels on rails instead of brushes on a map and drive oil painting.
In the nearly forty oil paintings on canvas in the exhibition may be how reality is not as measurable as we think, how the experience of each makes the same object, event or circumstance is dramatically different color depending on the beholder , or eyes that are painted.
As the authors say, here you will not see Cartagena and Montpellier, or a train or a trail, no smoke, charcoal or electric sparks: just a double distilled liquor in a bottle that fits all ships in the world.
