Flowers in Spring Time II

  • Flowers in Spring Time II
Nature expresses itself through a wide range of demonstrations, arriving to us as a part of the dialogue that we, temporary settlers of this inhabited Universe, have with it, since the creation of the Earth.
The dramatic loudness of a thunder, the igneous eruption of a volcano, the unstoppable advance of waters in a flood, impressed us. These multiple events are consequences or maladjustments provoked by us in the everyday habitat use, a place that was granted to us.
We, as believers, know that behind nature is the presence of God, waiting for his goodness demonstrated through a new sunrise, the fair rain grace that fertilizes the countryside, and provides us their fruits, and the delicate gift of a flower, born sometimes in places where desolation was before.
The flower, a vegetal prodigious, is a smile of God.
At the beginning of their work as image recorders, the artists couldn???t be indifferent to the beauty of the flower. Thus, from the starting of the Art and History, some painters reflected the flower on its canvases. The scientific approach of the botanical garden, the broad vision of the landscape artist, the intimate look of a flower bouquet arrangement   person who works in his studio, these are some of the possible reactions or attitudes that an artist expresses, touch by the broad palette of shapes and colours that the flower grants. The flower because of its fragility and ephemeral cycle challenges the work and the master of the painter, so it demands him a deep and quick work, exempt of tests and hesitations. The flower is generous of its beauty but jealous and strict with the conditions of its delivery.
As a testimony of it works, Estudio Garrido Abogados comprises with paints of its Paideia collection the exhibition offers today at the September Gallery Night, the month of the Spring season.
Among the thirty paints that conform this show, which encompasses more than a century of Argentinean Art, can be found artists who have made the flower and its world the main theme of their productions, and also other painters that took the flower as the context of their own unlimited issues.
From some roses that the Swiss Fausto E. Coppini painted in Paris in 1897, previous to come to settle down in Buenos Aires, to the jasmines and cardoons from the most recent record of Sonia Decker, are here the female record of oil paintings of Margarita Hahn Vidal and Doria Santilli, and the water paintings of Lola Frexas.
The austere essays of Juan Otero, José Luis Menghi and Virgilio Vallini, contrast with the Art paints of Iván Vasileff, and Adan Pedemonte, where the flowers mix with other elements.
The particular, unique and expressive touch of the pigments´ use characterizes the work of Marcos Tiglio, Armando Repetto, Fernando Pascual Ayilón. Paints  of Mario Anganuzzi, Egidio Cerrito, Demetrio Filip, José Murcia, and Raúl Schurjin, among others, complete with their own styles the catalogue of this exhibition.
