Cuatro artistas y cuatro interpretaciones visuales del idioma español con toda su diversidad. Raíces al viento es el resultado de la colaboración de Carlos Regueira, Blanca Gortari, Jorge Morgan y Rafael Rodulfo. Estos artistas nos  ofrecen su visión personal del idioma como una semilla que nace en tierra yerma y a la que el viento agita, impulsa y lleva a renacer al otro lado del océano. Las  texturas y el vibrante arte de Carlos Regueira nos recuerdan la importancia de  mantener viva una lengua.

Blanca Gortari aporta poesía y nitidez de pensamiento a esta colección y dota su trabajo de nuevas dimensiones al ir más allá de los medios convencionales y explorar emociones a través de nuevos formatos.

La tipografía es inherente al idioma y al utilizar algunos de estos elementos, Jorge Morgan construye el flujo de sus palabras a través de sus obras. Rafael Rodulfo añade el componente musical a esta exposición con su descubrimiento de ritmos cubanos plasmados en óleos sobre lienzo o madera. Para ello utiliza una escala cromática que armoniza a modo de notas musicales en un pentagrama.

Raíces al viento celebra la dimensión viva de un idioma y su representación por medio de las artes plásticas.

Four artists and four visual interpretations of the Spanish language in all its diversity. Roots in the Wind is the collaboration by Carlos Regueira, Blanca Gortari, Jorge Morgan and Rafael Rodulfo to display their understanding of a language as “a seed born in a wasteland, risen and blown by the wind to be reborn across the ocean”. Carlos Regueira´s textures and vibrant art will remind us how important it is to keep a language alive and vibrant.

Blanca Gortari brings poetry and clarity of thought to this collection, going beyond the conventional mediums and exploring emotions through new formats, providing original dimensions to her work.

Typography is inherent to a language, and by using some of these elements Jorge Morgan constructs the flow of his words through his paintings. Rafael Rodulfo adds the musical component to this exhibition with his discovering of Cuban rhythms that he transposes into oil on canvas and wood, using a chromatic scale which harmonises as notes in a music sheet.

Roots in the Wind celebrates the living dimension of a language and its representation through visual arts.

Shades of happiness

Jordi Forniés, born in Huesca in 1971 is a Catalan artist based in Dublin (Ireland).

A chemist by training, Jordi knows a thing or two about pigments and paint.  

His experience in this area combined with a very strong interest in the mineral world has lead Jordi to reinvent or re-interpret the complex yet beautiful landscapes within and without, mixing traditional and cutting edge design techniques.

Sculpting external material into the canvas before blending colours as time would in rock formations, the artist invites us on a journey through the inner self, exploring the geology of the mind, the meandering of distant memories, the erosion of emotions, the passing of love. 

Opening on Wednesday November 17 at 7 pm
