Exposició Col.lecció Abarclas 2013-14












Inauguración "el sentido de las emociones" Galeria O+O



















"El sentido de las emociones"



La Galería O+O, desde el 8 de noviembre, presenta bajo el título “El sentido de las Emociones”, la exposición que bajo la dirección de Enriqueta Hueso, presenta el trabajo artístico de dos importantes artistas: Pilar Palomares y María Alonso Páez, junto al Proyecto “Andante” del arquitecto Ramón Álvarez.


La artista Pilar Palomares se presenta de nuevo en la Galería O+O entrando, como siempre, con excelentes juegos visuales que no deja a nadie indiferente ante sus interpretaciones de sucesos, con figuras inanimadas, paisajes neoyorquinos y animales reinterpretados, aportándoles personalidad propia, creando un lenguaje muy personal y actual.  

Artista incansable y valiente en sus planteamientos visuales que a fuerza de experimentación recala en sus fotomontajes y collage con un dominio de la composición estructural exquisito,  llena de un intelecto fresco que nos obliga a reflexionar ante los símbolos y metáforas que plantea, creando con ello conceptos  diferentes, casi oníricos que para nada están por casualidad. Una artista que tiene un gran futuro en su planteamiento artístico, que domina el arte digital , el collage y el diseño gráfico, y que presenta un lenguaje nuevo, original para estos tiempos.

Su trayectoria nos muestra a una artista socialmente comprometida con la actualidad que mediante su lenguaje conceptual se renueva en cada trabajo que realiza.

LANDFILLART PROJECT



Con esta pieza participo en Landfillart project




Landfillart is an international effort encompassing one-thousand-forty-one (1,041) artists to claim a piece of rusted metal garbage and create fine art.
The 1,041 pieces of rusted metal are actually old automobile hub caps from the 1930’s through the 1970’s. Each hub cap, after being cleaned and primed, is affectionately called a “metal canvas.” Although most “metal canvases” have been transformed by the artist using oil or acrylic paint, some have been weaved on, glued or screwed or welded to, or made into fine sculpture.
I have found that the fine artists I have worked with on this project do not even flinch when looking at this white round disc of metal canvas. And why should they. Artists from the beginning of time have used cave walls (Lascaux, France and Altamira, Spain,) walls of pyramids (Egyptians,) animal skins (American Indians,) etc… as their canvas. In addition, as a gallery owner for over thirty years, I maintain that artists, generally speaking, are more ecologically in touch and environmentally aware. Perhaps that is the reason forty-one artists readily accepted the challenge and embraced the project.
The project is near completion. We are currently seeking the final group of artists. It has been evolvling from a simple idea of taking forty-one old rusted hub caps and creating forty-one pieces of great art. The second phase has already started with the acquisition of one thousand additional (1000) rusted hub caps which will be turned into cleaned and primed “metal canvases. The project will continue with finding one thousand (1000) talented artists who believe in this project.
The third phase will involve publishing a book on the project showcasing all one thousand forty one (1,041) completed “metal canvases.”
The fourth and final phase will involve choosing 200 metal canvases that adequately represent the project and create a traveling show. The book and traveling show will publically portray the global art community’s effort to positively impact the environment through repurposing previous metal waste into great landfillart.
