"In an age where they could not be represented on a canvas to bare acquaintances, Boticelli resorted to Greco-Roman myth of the goddess of love to reflect the snowy nakedness of his daughter and painted the spectacular Birth of Venus," said the young painter ciezano (August 1979) Ernesto Gil Marín as evidence of his theory that artists are perhaps those who may feel freer than others, precisely because they possess the ability in devising tricks to sneak repression of tyrants periods.
Efe Serrano Gallery Cieza Friday inaugurated the exhibition entitled 'Figuration or not' ciezano painter Ernesto Gil Marin.
The exhibition will remain open at this exhibition hall of San Sebastian Street until next November 28.
The event was attended by the Councillor for Culture of the City of Cieza, María Ramos Batres, who highlighted the painter his youth and artistic quality, exposing a good example of "excellent fruit in the future they offer many people who have given their first artistic steps in the Municipal Academy of Art. "
Since he began attending painting classes at the People's University of Cieza at age 12, then through the School of Arts and Crafts of Murcia, the Faculty of Fine Arts of Cuenca, where he concludes his career until his term as a fellow at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon and collaborator in the Department of Design at the Technological University of Panama City, across the Atlantic, Gil, which is like rubrica his works, he has always considered that academic training for painting is not required.
Not sure whether what he does is art, treasuring only the certainty that the end product of their fabrications of lines and colors is something that comes out of her hands, her job as a laborer or worker painting is his work, " language or tool that manages to express an idea. "
He is convinced that his vocation is the product of fate and that with a mere scribble, you can set a masterpiece, but, yes, "with the need for a previous journey."
He has exhibited several times, individually and collectively, in Barcelona, ​​Cuenca and Cieza, has explored through courses sculpture, photography, video and has taught at Castilla-La Mancha and his hometown.
Although the latter aspect, he rebels against the academic precepts and chairs sitting by teachers and theorists immovable political correctness when the techniques and modes of painting.
"I want to discover the error in the paint, because also there, looking for the error to break the rules of what has been typecast as valid in art," says the artist, appearing as a particular disciple of Karl Popper the transfer, a sui generis way, painting the Viennese philosophy regarding his theory of trial and error in science and politics when constructed that "knowing is to develop hypotheses and try to falsify, no authority is acceptable in this critical work. In the absence of certainty as possible about the truth (except tautologies), critical method becomes the mainstay of scientific research. Only by detecting and eliminating error can go forward without dogmatismos- in finding the truth. "
Gil put the error, and it is reflected in his paintings to then remove it and not of his paintings, but her soul and thus be exempted from it.
This ciezano associating with impressionist Edgar Degas "long holiday", flee entrenched in styles and techniques to try a little of everything with spontaneity, but maybe calling in some abstract expressionism where there is the conviction that " painting is to suggest to the viewer complete the incomplete "and where, ultimately, the idea that living" art is a weapon to fight the imperfection of the world and the injustices of men.
