ARTE CONSULTORES EN ARTEAMÉRICAS

DEL 26 AL 29 DE MARZO DE 2010

Arte Consultores estará en la feria internacional de arte, Arteaméricas, en Miami, Florida, desde el 26 al 29 de marzo de 2010. La galería exhibirá las series de Pedro Ruiz, Love is in the Air, Desplazamientos y ORO, obras de Hermann Camargo y dibujos del artista Fernando Botero.

En está muestra Pedro Ruiz presentará obras de tres series que cuestionan sutil y estéticamente temas de nuestra realidad nacional. Love is in the Air reflexiona acerca del tema del narcotráfico, la fumigación, y las implicaciones de este flagelo en nuestra sociedad; Desplazamientos evoca el drama de los desplazamientos forzosos en Colombia gracias a la violencia; y ORO nos brinda una esperanza en cuanto al amor que todos los colombianos sentimos por nuestro país y que debemos compartir con el resto del mundo.

El público también podrá disfrutar de las obras de la serie Frutos, del pintor hiperrealista Hermann Camargo, en las cuales propone rescatar para la historia la imagen de los más tradicionales y auténticos frutos colombianos, algunos de ellos al borde de la extinción y olvido ante la presión de la civilización sobre las selvas y bosques nativos. Finalmente se exhibirán dibujos de Fernando Botero, los cuales dieron origen a la serie del Circo, exhibida por primera vez en el Palacio Real de Milán en el 2008. Figuras de hombres y mujeres trapecista, malabaristas y demás personajes del circo son el tema central de estas obras.

PEDRO RUIZ' SERIES

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Love is in the Air is reminiscent of a nostalgic poem bleeding with elements of a love that seems to have drifted away from where it is needed most. Images of strikingly beautiful poppies overwhelm our sentiments, almost misleading in their humorous delight, as love songs fill the air. A sinister thread of gas hangs, an ironically gentle yet foreboding sign of the destruction yet to come.

Focusing on the politically charged theme of fumigating heroine producing poppies, Pedro Ruiz’ latest body of work imbues his subject with a spiritual and utterly human tone, posing the most basic yet complex of questions: where is the love when such drastic acts take place? Behind such devastating beauty lies an irony that is at once fragile, humorous, and deeply profound, one that Ruiz hopes will bring viewers to thoroughly contemplate a problem that involves all of us as a society. For when violence breaks, it is a ripple effect of involvement and suffering, and the solutions proposed yield no true answer.

As Carl Jung has expressed, “Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart…who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.” It is precisely this awakening that Ruiz is calling upon, and through the lovely irony of bittersweet reflection, he begs the question, where is the love?

DISPLACEMENTS

Through this series Pedro Ruiz gracefully alludes to the tragedy born from warfare in Colombia, juxtaposing strikingly harmonious and peaceful images of a man transporting a symbolic representation of his homeland in a canoe with the painful context that this image represents: that of the forced displacements in this country. Displacements grew from the artist’s perception that, through art, the collective memory of a country in conflict can grow beyond that of sorrowful memories of loss. From Displacements stems the idea that those who have had to leave their home, their land, their place of origin, always take a part of it within themselves. The image of banana trees bathed in red alludes to the violence and heartbreak suffered by those who must depart from a territory that is an essential part of their being. Whether those displaced take their land with them in its natural state, or metaphorically tainted in red, this body of works demonstrates how nature can find itself in tune with the reality of our existence.

GOLD

GOLD, Spirit and Nature of a Territory, born out of the artist’s Displacements series, seeks to convey the essence of the Colombian spirit, with the canoes now carrying elements of a beloved cultural patrimony to be shared with the rest of the world. Conceived as a traveling exhibition of 40 unsellable miniature works, 4 have now been transferred into a larger format, reflecting a collective identity that leaves behind the sweeping stereotypes born from violence and conflict, to encompass a clearer definition of who Colombians truly are.

When displaced Colombians must depart, relinquish their home, and start anew, the cultural elements embodied in their identity escape and are overshadowed by the definition of a country wrought with warfare and difficulty. They are no longer from the Colombia whose butterflies rise to the heights of planes flying at dawn, but from a country that is suspiciously judged before being truly experienced. With GOLD, Spirit and Nature of a Territory, Ruiz serenely invites us to reflect and meditate upon the different values that throughout the centuries have shaped this nation, asking us to look beyond the initial impression, through the multifaceted layers, and into the heart of a rich and complex identity.
