Mónica Boixeda Only-Be, Venetian

The Venice Biennale is celebrating its 54th edition and will open the Pavilion Chile with an exhibition by Fernando Prats, an eclectic and innovative artist, who has printed a change in the contemporary painting. The Chilean artist, who was actually born in Buenos Aires in 1967, has been devoted to art from an early age. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Chile in Santiago; he did a specialization in painting at the Massana School and a graduate course at the University of Barcelona, city in which he decided to establish since 1990. His works have been exhibited at the most important contemporary art centers in the world. Those works belong to different art centers and museums such as the Fundación Caixa de Manresa, the Kolumba, Kunstmuseum des Erzbistums Cologne and Würzburg Diozesan-Museum (both in Germany), as well as the National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago de Chile. The project carried out for the Venice Biennale will be installed in the arsenals of the ancient city, which is one of the most visited during the Biennale. “Gran Sur” is the title of this installation that consists of three works: the first is a creation inspired by the impact of the volcanic eruption that took place in 2008 in Chaiten, the second proposes a series of pieces that allude to the earthquake last year in Chile, and the third is an installation in neon letters that retrieves the announcement of the Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton in 1911, in which he wanted to enlist men for his expedition to Antarctica: “men wanted for risky journey, little... read more

Picasso and his years in Paris

Mónica Boixeda Only-Be, Parisian

The Museu Picasso in Barcelona exhibits from the first of July to October 16th the exhibition “Devour Paris. Picasso 1900-1907,” which as its name implies, shows the artist´s evolution since his arrival in the French city. The presentation was organized by both the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands and by the Spanish Cultural Action along with Endesa as a sponsor. Picasso arrived in Paris in 1900 and almost a decade later, managed to obtain massive attention as a leading avant-garde artist in the city settling as the forefront artist of that movement. During this time the man from Malaga had a chance to see the works of Gauguin, Puvis de Chavannes, Van Gogh, Steinlen, Toulouse-Lautrec and Rodin among others. As expected, seeing all of these great artists created a huge change in the head of the Spanish Painter who incorporated in his art many of the features that the before mentioned artists had utilized. Due to this reason Picasso explored many new techniques. In “Devour Paris. Picasso 1900-1907″ you can observe no less than 50 works of the Spanish artist fabricated ??through different techniques and, as if this were not enough, 47 other paintings by some of the most important artists of history as Cézanne Van Gogh and Rodin, among others. The idea behind this is not only enjoy them but see what Picasso took from those masters into his own art and how his style evolved through his years in Paris. Van Gogh was one of the few artists which he declared his admiration and respect for. That´s exactly why you see so much influence from the... read more
