Victoria Fontana

Comunicado de prensa

La artista neoyorkina, Victoria Fontana, vuelve a exponer en el Centro de Artes Tomás y Valiente de Fuenlabrada. En esta ocasión trae una colección titulada “Humano: para lo bueno y para lo malo” en la que, una vez más, da rienda suelta a un estilo pictórico emocional.
No es la primera vez que el Centro de Artes Tomás y Valiente presta su espacio a la obra de Victoria Fontana.
Esta joven artista de origen estadounidese ha destacado entre los nuevos talentos del arte mediante pinceladas emocionales, casi viscerales, que se aglomeran sobre el lienzo para deconstruir a un hombre repleto de contradicciones.
Por eso ha titulado a esta colección “Human”, “Humano: para lo bueno y para lo malo”. Huyendo de todo formalismo, sus cuadros encriptan sueños, miedos y deseos a base de salpicaduras y colages.
La obra de Victoria Fontana podrá visitarse en el CEART de manera gratuita, como todas las exposiciones del centro, hasta el 7 de junio.

HUMAN

C. Leganés 51

In the series, "HUMAN" contradiction and paradox are joined to reflect the essence of human beings unable to escape from the mental and physical "prisons" they live in. Words, mantras, screams, silence, the silenced, the oppressed and the oppressor mingle with social pressure, the media, preached morality and aesthetics; breeding a culture of victims of involuntary and voluntary tortures and the hypocrisy of our judgments from afar.

En la serie HUMAN se juntan precisamente la contradicción y la paradoja: en ello se encuentra la esencia del ser humano incapaz de escaparse de sus propias “cárceles” mentales y físicas. La palabra, el mantra, el grito, el silencio, el silenciado, los restringidos y los que se restringen se juntan con la presión social, la moralidad predicada, la belleza o el deseo de ser bello, el laberinto de mensajes mediáticos- engendrando una cultura de torturas involuntarias y voluntarias, fácilmente criticables desde fuera, desde la conciencia superficial en la que se mueve una subcultura, dispersa por el mundo, infectada por el mismo virus.

"Ancient Palaces" is the brand under which a collection of highly prestigious events has been carried out by Camaver Kunsthaus International over the last years. These initiatives have left a mark of quality and of meaning in the world of contemporary art.

Camaver decided to exhibit the best of contemporary art in ancient and famous institutional palaces. Places where human history has become art history over the centuries.


Shamal
The creative wind


Shamal is the name of a violent summer wind from the persian gulf.
Since the most ancient times it has been considered a rare event, something bringing sudden changes.
Shamal is also considered a wind melting colors and sounds of distant lands.
Such exotic wind will become the symbol of the exhibition organized by Camaver Kunsthaus International . So Shamal becomes a metaphor of creativity and exceptionality.
The above similitude will give us the opportunity to deeply study all the facets of being an artist and, moreover, of the creative thought, that often appears elusive but also overpowering and unexpected.
The main aim of the exhibition is also to try a comparison between two different artistic realities, local artists and other international artists.
We would like to create an imaginary journey among artistic creations and the innovative power of creativity pulled ahead by the Shamal wind.

Sometimes it happens that we wonder ourselves how an artworks comes about. Well, maybe such as in a primitive chaos, where ideas suggestions and sensibility are melted together in an intricate movement, a creative wind often gives a direction to all those feelings and suggestions, enabling the artist to create something that will have positive effects on reality.
Ideas have no material shape, like the wind has not, so you cannot touch them but their effects on reality are manifest and evident.
Very often the artist has a stronger sensitivity in comparison to common people so he is able to catch different points of view with his eyes, he can revise reality and transform it into art and into something completely new.
Artworks should be something acting on the mind and on the sensitivity of other people, something violent that is able to leave a sign in and outside us, exactly like the blowing of a strong and overwhelming wind.
What this exhibition will try to communicate is that, creativity together with that particular sensitivity of the artists, is like a gust of wind that blows through Countries and continents, able to influence not only other artists in very different ways, but also common onlookers.
Our goal is to try to show the artists through that process which is something like air and wind: it cannot be corrupted, it is an unassailable force able to lighten the obscure side of society, able to pull us towards new worlds and new dimensions, where we can reflect on the interiority of the human being and about our relationship with the environment.
We do not have to think of this wind, of creativity as a distant element from our daily reality or far from common people like we are. Such as the air that is the linkage between the sky and the earth, so art is the linking ring of spirit and matter. Art is the only existing way to sublimate materialistic impulses of men.
Now the connection with wind and divinity and the supernatural becomes evident , frequently used in the past as vital blow or manifestation of God's willings.
The artist appears like a creature pervaded by this special wind, by this creative strain, he is free to express himself, his thoughts that can never bear any constrain.
Today the wind of Shamal becomes communication, flexibility of thoughts and transformation of these thoughts into something real: that's art.
