The Sea of Art is open to emerging artists of great renown, such as the Italian Khet Pesce (Rome, 1980), this morning presented his work paint and paper, from the Alps to Carthage, accompanied by Councillor Culture, Rosario Montero, the coordinator of La Mar de Arte Jose Luis Cegarra, and the curator of the exhibition, Nacho Ruiz.
The exhibition will be exhibited at the Centro Cultural Ramón Alonso Luzzy until 31 August.
Khet's work reflects influences of German expressionism and brings youth and freshness to contemporary art, as explained by the Councillor for Culture, Rosario Montero.
So an artist like Pesce Khet would not exactly be an artist 'post-historical', but rather lies "beyond history" in whose work the past and present are contemporaries.
As explained by the artist, the work is organized in a spiral, taking the brightness of the space and even including works in the air.
The alpine landscape is the basic reference for the work, which was inspired after living for a time in an artists' residence in the Alps.
His inspiration culminated arriving at Cartagena and discover the influence of culture in our city is old, according to the words of Khet.
THE ARTIST
A Khet Pesce likes two things in particular: errors and paper.
Mountains of paper impregnated with these errors to the limit, in which works of art and traditional painting styles are available to the artist waiting to be exploited and recycled.
Thirty years ago, the artists found themselves in a similar situation, Arthur C.
Danto rightly defined as "post-historical."
The difference today is that this 'post-historical' is defined under a modern 'Ipodización' of culture that, far from favoring a linear classification of art history and tradition, has become a systematic cataloging (from jobs) by gender and similar to the 'playlists' of the iPod.
THE WORK
Seeing their work reflects their interest in the works of Baselitz, Basquiat and Twombly, but play the role of a painter refused naive amateur or a savage or neo-expressionist maudit.
In fact, Pesce is spontaneously similar to his work and his person is not very different from the subjects or cartoon represents.
Most surprising is that there is nothing flamboyant or unnatural in what he creates.
His attitude, without any premeditation, is pure grunge than punk, grunge disjointed form, purged of the waste of history, but more ironic and communicative orientation.
