"Origin. The painting space"
"Origin. The space of painting", by Rafael Canogar, and in the Refugio room "Bling Bling Romance" by Noemi Iglesias, this exhibition is curated by Semíramis González
“[…]My works aim to be a field of experimentation to seek the essentiality of simple brushstrokes: metaphorical gestures of the mark of man on our reality; footprints, furrows, like those of the Castilian farmer on the earth. Material experience of man who leaves his mark on the world. And behind that reality, on the back, fields of color like our eternal landscape of sky-earth, of earth-air, horizons that have marked our spaces, and where the glaze of our own reflection is reflected on the methacrylate support, the integration of our space as part of the same work” Rafael Canogar
“[…]Using the rose as one of the elements associated with the discourse of love and transformed into a product of emotional relationships by the romantic industry, a garden setting is proposed with a perfect, meticulous, almost unreal finish that allows us to open a new perspective from which to rethink and question the establishment of romanticism in our Western society. The aim of the installation is to offer an atmosphere that invites the spectator to have an attentive attitude in order to perceive that which is not found in the external appearance, but in the nature of things or in the substance of people.” Semíramis González
