Art exhibition: “Itinerantes”
Date: 01/12/2017 to 01/31/2018
Place: Teatro Felipe VI
Price: Free
The City Council of Estepona, through the Sociocultural Area and Services, informs that the “Poseidón” exhibition hall of the Felipe VI Auditorium will host, during the months of December and January, the art exhibition “Itinerantes”, by the artist Rodolfo Gil Romero.
Like the previous ones, this show is possible thanks to the collaboration agreement of the company Malvavisco Digital, current manager of the Auditorium, and the Cultural and Cinematographic Association of the Costa del Sol “Unicornio”, and can be visited for free, in the days of celebration of events in the Felipe VI Auditorium.
The sample is composed of more than twenty figurative works of small format, using mixed media, collages, ink and watercolors, and for the author an ironic gesture, a quiet cry motivated by stupor and impotence in the face of the suffering of so many people that they have to leave their countries, their families and their houses to look for more worthy horizons, and they undertake a long journey risking their lives and losing them in many cases, in these nearby waters in which others enjoy and take vacations.
The exhibition begins to take shape with the wrecks in Lampedusa, in October 2013, and in the following events on Spanish coasts and borders, and proposes a reflection on the unjust relationship between countries, between abundance, exploitation and the consequences of war.
The narration is carried out through characters that represent on the one hand the life, the memory, the wisdom, and the empathy of doctors and cooperators towards these suffering people, and others that symbolize the indifference and contempt towards these displaced and dispossessed.
Rodolfo Gil Romero is an architect born in Tucumán, Argentina, and has lived in Spain since 1986 in Madrid and Seville, and since 1990 in Marbella. In addition to performing various courses in Contemporary Art and Graphic Design, Photography, and Drawing and Painting, among others, he also dedicates himself to writing. Among other awards, he has won the first in the “Illustrated Poetry” Contest in Tucumán and the “Rafael Leoz Foundation” Award in Madrid, and has been the winner of the third edition of the Micro-book Fair Contest of the Book Fair of Marbella and San Pedro Alcántara.
