The painting exhibition of artist Paco Pomet opened last Friday in the Byzantine walls and open to the public until January 10, showing 23 large canvases, which alternates between humor, drama, wit and irony, where reality and fiction coexist, alternate and face.
Organized by the Department of Culture of the City of Cartagena, will be open on schedule Tuesday through Saturday, from 10.00 to 13.30 hours and from 17.00 to 20.30.
In general I try to talk to the perplexity of being alive, of continuous pleasure and unease that produces live in a world that has infinite ways and at the same time, has none.
Anything can fit in a box with almost all matters interest me, Paco stressed Pomet.
The formation of the artist, having studied Fine Arts in Granada, is complemented by his visits to the United Kingdom and New York, where he assimilated the traditions provocative contemporary art.
The critic Fernando Castro Flórez describes it: This painter, in a sense close to other artists such as Santiago Ydáñez, some boxes Curro González, disturbing atmospheres or Neo Rauch, the proposals generated in other languages, or Paul McCarthy of the Chapman brothers, is in every sense, a contemporary, someone who tries to account for what amazes him, of daily events filtered by a style that is something grotesque.
Its easy to call attention to the serious issues that affect humanity appears naturally combined with hilarious characters and situations that have nothing to do with the context.
Pomet - says Castro Flórez - not to wear, as they say, the heart in a fist, to the contrary, their works generate a playful almost dream-like drift, we must keep an open mind to everything, be able to establish a permanent free association.
