In March, 1989, right in the middle of San Cristóbal de la Laguna’s city center, in the island of Tenerife, the art gallery Estudio Artizar begun its adventure, with the main objective of helping people getting to know the local art from the Canary Islands, while building a meeting point for it.
The gallery’s walls have received a broad range of artists from all the islands; from painters of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, to contemporary painters of national and international prestige and, of course, young and restless painters that have grown together with the gallery.
Since its beginnings until now, Artizar has evolved and, bit by bit, has opened its arms and has broadened its aims to a bigger variety of paintings. At first, Artizar was created to be a meeting place for the commercialization of Canary art, but right now, our permanent displays and knowledge, not only go beyond the peninsular frontiers, but also reach foreign countries, with artists belonging to the European, Latin American and North American vanguard, and many others, summing up in Artizar’s wide catalogue of paintings.

"Pholk"
13 November - 12 December
These photographs began after visiting a series of folk festivals in my home county of Kent, England.
Beyond the Morris men and clog dancers, I became aware of the strange, raggle-taggle strain of clans and troupes - black faced, baring hurdy-gurdy’s and willow staffs - that invade the pubs and public squares of host villages.
I started photographing these creatures and quickly began imagining other, less common peoples - masks and markings that represent the weather, or the state of mind, or the landscape, or the madness of we human tribes.
These are the first images I’ve made.
I will add the folk festival oddities, and more faces and flowers before the book is finished.

VICENTE LÓPEZ
Face_value
9 October - 7 November
We belong to a global village, to a single nation, and we are beginning to share the same destiny. Money is coalescing in a way that is unstoppable. If we had to put a face on the world around us, with money as the only judge and jury, what would we look like?
Face value is a portrait of today's world, of the values used to judge us constantly, of society and its standards of measurement, the true face hidden behind the mask, the face of economic power that measures beauty, success or happiness.
These are the premises set forth by Vicente Lopez in his latest work. He begins from the Cubist idea in which an image is broken down into different perspectives and reconstructed in the mind of the viewer. But far from seeking comprehensibility by deconstructing reality the way the Cubists did, Vicente López manipulates an icon - the “face of money” - by means of large, meticulously painted canvasses, certain that this icon's ubiquity in our society will produce a result that is both aesthetic and philosophical in substance. And, as it has been for some time, as the real f...[ Read all ] |
