F. BANCAJA. Pl. Tetouan, 23
Lately it was all men who exhibited under the umbrella of the Bancaja Foundation (Picasso, german, Alfaro, Miquel Navarro...), so the landing of Soledad Seville in the Plaza de Tetuán also makes up for a lack. We are talking about one of the most outstanding artists of the Spanish plastic scene., woman and Valencian. The feeling of color It is the first retrospective of the artist in her native Valencia., and in it you can go through more than forty years of work (1975-2018) experimenting with the sensory possibilities of light, the color, The space and time. She has always worked in series, what is shown in this exhibition, a selection of the works that make up his most memorable series. In Las Meninas, bulls or the Alhambra use the grid to recreate and study space, and in the series of the apostles part of the apostolate painted by Rubens to play with color on canvases that simulate wood. Abstract art does not always have an origin, but in this case it is clear and clear. In the most pointillist series, Insomnia at dawn (2000), where he recreates the black and gray nebula of insomnia (who suffers) in a painting that is directly related to the large ephemeral installation I will call you leaf who presides over the room. It is made with natural dried leaves, photographed, printed on offset or silk-screened and masterfully mounted on huge vertical panels. Painting sometimes leads to installation and vice versa, this is a clear example. in the series winter lights He works the landscape, inspired by tobacco dryers – a kind of burlap that protects the plant – with many layers of paint that achieve that effect of depth and mystery.. Soledad Sevilla is the example of how the abstract can be tremendously poetic. S.M.
