| Exposed in the Tomás Rico and Víctor Beltrí rooms of the Cartagena City Hall, and which can be visited until January 24 | The exhibition "Myth and Logic" is a tribute to mythological art, expressed by sixteen Italian and Spanish artists, through their philosophy and avant-garde interpretive skills that has been inaugurated today, Friday, November 27, in the Tomás Rico and Víctor Beltrí rooms of the Consistorial Palace of Cartagena, which can be visited until January 24.“In this exhibition, which houses the rooms of the City Hall of Cartagena, a large group of visual artists display the response of the contemporary creator to the perception generated by the visual pollution of our time, which coexists with the cultural legacy of classical myths.
In this way, these authors do not analyze the tradition and the historical legacy in rigorous and aesthetic terms, but from each private, enigmatic and personal imaginary ”has indicated the Councilor for Culture of the City of Cartagena, David Martínez Noguera.“This project is a dialogue between various Italian and Spanish artists who move between tradition and the avant-garde.
They are eight Italian artists: Alessandro del Gaudio, Carlo de Lucia, Enzo Trepiccione, Nunzia Re, Vittorio Vanacore, Diana D´Ambrosio, Lucio Afeltra and Marco Pili; and eight Spaniards: Antonio Cifuentes, Antonio Vidal Máiquez, Virginia Bernal, Salvador Torres, Ginés Vicente, Pau Pellín, Antonio Requena and Xavi Ferragut ”Martínez Noguera presented.One of the curators of the exhibition, Salvador Torres, has indicated that "it is a lyrical extraction and an abstract formalism, on the part of the majority of Italian artists, and on the part of the Spanish, figuration and symbolism predominate.
they analyze the classic myths but with the current perspective of each one of them ".
He has also explained that different disciplines such as paintings, drawing, engraving and sculpture can be contemplated "Furthermore, Antonio Vidal Máiquez, a Cartagena painter who participates in this exhibition, has remarked that it is "a magnificent exhibition, since visitors who come will already see the uniformity within the diversity of works and styles.
For me it is an honor that have counted on me ".ARTISTSIn the work of the painter Alessandro del Gaudio, irony is present at all times, all his figuration is articulated on an inexhaustible demystifying vein about our motley urban society.The dream, identity and popular culture are the pillars of the work of the painter Carlo de Lucia.
The dream predominates in his works, inhabited by silhouettes, as an alternative to reality, a place where one is free, where another way of life is possible.Enzo Trepiccione's work, apparently Naif, displays a symbolism full of artistic, material and theoretical wisdom; accumulated over the years and materialized in his works through a symbolism and agrarianism that evoke ancient myths and certainties.Nunzia Re's abstract work is born from a reality included in dreams, a kind of fantasy and memory that through her works sublimate into a painted reality, based on places that come from her imagination.Vittorio Vanacore places man at the center of his aesthetic research, at the center of life and speculates on the space he occupies; Even when he renounces the human figure in his works, he composes a space with a swinging search between line, balance and chromaticism.Diana D´Ambrosio is a conceptual artist, she returns to the analysis of the third dimension, of space and memory.
With his works he seeks to investigate the interior space of matter, the result conveys a mixture of lyrical and spiritual mysticism, in which he recovers primitive cultures.Lucio Afeltra unfolds a work between reality and fantasy, like a spiral journey of infinite creative paths.
He develops works designed between full details of yellow, red and blue shapes.
Sun, sea and land as a time machine in which to travel.Marco Pili starts from Dada origins to arrive at a rite of the telluric of matter, mixed as a game of wisdom and material plasticity.Antonio Cifuentes presents us with a sculptural symbolist figuration that has its origin in the work of the painter Tomás Raja; To this is added a whole family process of the artist in learning and love for the techniques formed by metals.
This artist collaborates with other artists, as is the case in this exhibition with Antonio Vidal Máiquez; the latter's work is applied art in the positive sense, which is reflected in the contents of his works, and in the economization of forms through geometric bodies to achieve this end.
His work does not have to be clearly linked to reality to be understood, to be pure art.Virginia Bernal's works are inspired by a certain old domestic appearance, accompanied by the aesthetics of daguerreotypes and old cameos; in his works he represents a domestic theater, where small or large personal dramas acquire a mythical dimension.
This creation in various photographic and pictorial supports has lasted for more than two decades.Salvador Torres's work is halfway between pop and lyrical figuration, which places us before a plastic narrative between fiction and reality.
A work in which each painting conveys a reflection halfway between the biographical and the dreamlike.Ginés Vicente bases his work initially on metaphysical figuration that has derived in recent years towards components clearly based on science fiction.
He simultaneously develops the facet of painter, draftsman and sculptor.A self-taught painter and illustrator, Pau Pellín graduated in Philosophy from the University of Murcia, expanding her studies at the Paris X-Nanterre University, where she specialized in Aesthetics.
Back in Spain, he worked in various workshops with painters and engravers, seeking in the plastic arts a means of expression of ideas and a way to reconcile philosophical activity with the communicative dimension of art.Antonio Requena is an artist whose recognized mastery in the use of watercolor marks his pictorial aesthetics, in addition to nationally he has exhibited in New York, Miami, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Oporto, Bolzano, Salzburg, Ghent, Naples, Oslo, Utrecht, and has actively participated in international competitions, biennials and symposia.Xavier Ferragut has a degree in Fine Arts and an extensive career in restoration.
His recent exhibitions include Storie d'Africa, at the MACS Museum of the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Artistic Lyceum in Naples; or the exhibitions of his African trip such as Storie d'Africa at the Spazzio Vitale gallery, Aversa, Naples.SCHEDULE La muestra estará disponible del 27 de noviembre al 24 de enero, en horario de martes a viernes por la mañana de 10:00 a 13:30 horas y por las tardes de 17:00 a 19:00 horas, los sábados de 10:00 a 13:30 y de 17:00 a 20:00, y los domingos y festivos de 10:00 a 13:30, permaneciendo cerrado los lunes excepto para cruceros.
