Nono García will make his first guided visit to the exhibition "Arqueologías", on Sunday 3 at 12.30.
The exhibition includes about forty works inspired by archaeological pieces preserved in the Archaeological Museums of the Region.
In some canvases we see with our own light objects of daily use that evoke the murmur of the people who inhabited the southeast throughout history.
In other works, the cold marble carved by the Romans has taken color and plasticity
In his creative process the artist has used his brushes as poetic language and evokes the deep admiration for those objects rescued from the past, that great puzzle of our History, now reworked from the perspective of contemporary art, looking for that point of encounter and dialogue with last.
In the tour of the exhibition the viewer will face some pieces rescued from the past painted with some realism, although surrounded by a warm and poetic atmosphere, where the artist's mastery of light and brushes allows almost caress the acanthus leaves of the Capital Corinthian of the Roman theater or the folds of the dress of the Citarista that accompanies the Altar of Jupiter.
Works carved in marble that decorated the Roman theater and that, now taken to the canvases, recall the play of lights and shadows so frequent in Roman mural painting.
Archeologies of a land where Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, Jews and Christians navigated and lived.
Stories like that of the Byzantine neighborhood about the Roman theater destroyed by the Goths, where the roofs of their houses crushed the daily trousseaux of their dwellers, ajuares that Nono recovers as timeless still lifes, remembering the multiple civilizations that have passed through these lands.
