Vicente Gomez Garcia. The artistic passion for Valencia

UNTIL SUNDAY 21/4
MuVIM. Quevedo, 10

"The artistic obsession for Valencia" could have been titled this exhibition according to the director of the Muvim Rafa Company. Vicente Gomez Garcia painted the head and house once, and another, and one more, of one and a thousand forms, letting himself be impregnated by all the "isms" that pollulated around Europe of the time: (hyper)realism, fauvism, Impressionisme, expressionism, constructivism or geometric abstraction, the latter, Caving hybrid artifacts called "Pictoesculturas" with which this vocational painter explored the three -dimensional space of painting. A handful of these artistic movements that made up the history of western twentieth century are developed in the different versions of a still life that does not represent food or flowers, but the work material of a painter. In the 1950's and 60's, Gómez produced topical and stereotypical canvases on the Corpus Christi, El Palmar, the port of Valencia or the malvarrosa, But in the 1970s it was left swallowed by the avant -garde, Although he continued to obsessively portray his hometown. JA HAVIA FUNDAT THE RENEWAL GRUP LOS SEVEN JUNT A VICENTE CASTELLANO, Vicente Fillol, Juan Genovés, Angels Ballester, Joaquin. Developed virtually all pictorial genres, But the backbone of his production was painting and drawing Valencia, city ​​that began to see with other eyes after reading The city of Valencia by Manuel Sanchis Guarn. Valencian painted a panoramic view of which very few cities can boast, Two views from the 360º Micalet that collect the entire city. At Muvim you will also find the Generalitat and its environment touched by cubism, a geometric study of the micalet, The dome of the vaporous Valencia Cathedral Drawn on the Carbonet, A vision of Valencia Nord from an interior where a fauvista and rosacea and another kaleidoscopic with oval modulations that capture different moments of the day, as wild Monet with the cathedral of Rouen. The Muvim brings to light the work A painter unknown to the Valencians who, paradoxically, is probably the artist who has done the most work on the city of Valencia and for longer, about sixty years of his life.
