The Valencian artist, Marta Blasco, marks her return to the cultural scene of Mallorca with her latest exhibition, “Fragments”. The exhibition presents a selection of his latest creations and some significant works from recent years, offering a broad view of his work over time.
The exhibition will take place on Saturday 9 March at the Marimon Gallery, from 19:00 hours.
The walls of the Mallorcan gallery will function as a blank canvas composed of “fragments” recovered from different stages of the artist’s work. The essence of the proposal lies in the union of these fragments, giving them a new identity by merging with each other, rather than presenting them as isolated series.
Among the new works to be presented, “Dafne” stands out, a contemporary reading that merges visual references from the past, where multiple physical and temporal planes converge. They will also exhibit the well-known “Roses”, worked by the artist at different times and that in this
exposure are colored, altering their meaning and shape. The metamorphosis of these roses will culminate in a series of hand-lit etchings during Blasco’s residency at the Portuguese Screen Printing Centre (CPS) next April.
In addition, the exhibition will present a reinvention of “Las Meninas”; two pieces where the artist challenges the limits between figuration and abstraction, playing masterfully with the loose stroke. “The conversion of unbelievers” will close the exhibition, posing an unknown about the new artistic direction of Marta Blasco.
With a total of nine works, “Fragments” promises to be an intriguing and open exhibition, where attendees will have the opportunity to explore the artistic evolution of Marta Blasco and immerse themselves in drawings that yearn to be paintings and paintings that wish to be drawings.
