CARME CENTER. Museum, 2
“I will never make a work that does not ask questions”. This maxim of the sculptor Teresa Cebrián consumes the pieces that make up the retrospective The long journey. The Ferreres room leaves the colorful Okuda behind and enters a much more sober and gloomy world in which death and pain are part of life.. “I don't understand works that only have colors, something this city really likes”, declared the artist at the presentation of the exhibition before having to sit down. Cebrián has been suffering from chronic pain for years that lives on in his later creations., grouped in the last chapel painted black so that the red stands out. Despite your suffering, has never stopped creating, When he could no longer handle heavy materials, he opted for light ones., like the cardboard bra with needles stuck where the pain bites or the wooden ruler that rejects the scale from one to ten that doctors propose to measure the intensity of pain. One of the last rooms is carpeted with the faces of friends that have become unrecognizable with the passage of time. (Faces / faceless), and until we got here we have passed organic pieces of clay and burlap, abaci of tears that symbolize the pain of infants, a shroud of imperfect beauty woven professionally for the occasion and an iron cage that contains resin fists in reference to domestic violence… Quite an aesthetic experience. S.M.
