Ana Pérez Ventura: "Tourner la page".
In this exhibition by Ana Pérez Ventura we can see unpublished pieces from two series she has been working on for years, in which she uses two opposing processes: on the one hand, the addition of paint in the multiple layers of the Études, and, on the other, the subtraction based on the perforations of the wood in the Notages. his exhibition also includes her first work in volume from this series, Tourner la page. It is a work inspired by the "accordions" of sheet music that pianists build to place all the pages spread out on the music stand and thus avoid having to pass them while playing.
MORET ART
Soledad Córdoba:"Trilogy of the soul. Transcendence"
"Trilogy of the soul. Transcendence" is the second solo photographic exhibition at Moret Art by Soledad Córdoba, a renowned Asturian artist based in Madrid. This project, carried out during 2019, arises from the award of the prestigious Leonardo grant to researchers and cultural creators 2017 of the BBVA Foundation, with which the author makes a journey through American deserts, as she finds in them the "propitious place for revelation, for transcendence", in the words of Zara Fernández de Moya, curator of the project.
Vilaseco Gallery
Gloría García Lorca: "Ardora".
The title of the exhibition comes from a bioluminescence phenomenon called Sea of Ardora by which the water of the sea glows in the dark with the breaking of the waves or any other type of movement. In Galicia it can be seen more easily between late August and September, when winds and heat favor the phenomenon, the artist saw it for the first and only time last summer on the beach of Corrubedo. Inspired by this phenomenon, Gloria García Lorca presents ten pieces painted on cotton canvas with acrylic paint and a ceramic piece made of refractory clay and enamel.
