UNTIL MONDAY 26/6
F. CHIRIVELLA SORIANO. Valeriola, 13
Vicente Columbus said in the presentation of the exhibition, over eighty years old, which has always had a complex of not being modern. But it seems to be, despite never having been dazzled by informalism, pop art, political art or American hyperrealism, very cold in his opinion. His it is a very particular way of understanding realism, it is one that is meticulously drawn with ink and pen (that do not admit mistakes) for hours and hours, but not to replicate an exact copy of reality, but a version that can transform the skyscrapers of New York into geometric cubes or create abstraction by weaving beams and stairs. Trying to never bore the staff. In the sample Vicente Colom. Art in tension we find the first drawing made by the Valencian, there for the year 56, that of a woman crocheting, and more current works, total 244 pieces that make up the profuse retrospective of an artist who has always gone free. On the first floor hang a series of black and white drawings of urban architecture, Romanesque capitals, the Albufera, ballerinas, ballet shoes and a chaquetilla of twisted bullfighter that becomes art with capital letters. Color appears on the second floor, the quick brushing and impasto painting on canvases of feathery landscapes and female nudes that approach expressionism, and proudly drinking portraits of the master Rembrandt. Absolute technical skill applied to a very personal way of understanding realism, art that will blow your mind. S.M.
