"I hate the very idea that someone could enter the room and recognize the sex of the artist. Sex is something that the painter's pretty irrelevant when you look at a work art ", once said the American artist Susan Rothenberg. I could not agree more. On the other hand, why when talking about women we label art directly from feminist? In my humble opinion art is gender-neutral. Most people who visit a museum or even to ask whether the work was done by a man or a woman. Similarly, are often surprised when in the sixteenth century King Philip II of Spain was an Italian painter Sofonisba Anguissola as the court. I'm not sure why, but for many a work can only be claimed by a woman if the female gender. Well, I consider the most appropriate approach to claim artistic quality. Throughout the history of art past and present women artists who, increasingly, construct their own story, as was the case of Canada Agnes Martin. Martin is characterized by melancholy of perfection - artistically speaking -. The artist says, "My paintings have no issue and no space or lines or anything else: no forms. They are lightweight and revolve around the merger and the formlessness, the dissolution of forms. " His basic idea, its perfection, is the number of lines accurately determined based on old laws of harmony. Agnes, as an artist, he continued working in his research focusing almost exclusively on its final stage in the horizontal lines while maintaining the same format, adding a small dark space between the metal frame and canvas. Similarly Sherrie Levine, known for boosting the style 'Appropriation Art', says "as Brancusi, I am interested in the corporeal and sensual, but also unpredictable and unstable. I like the aura of the accidental, as I like the repetition because it carries with it an endless sequence of meetings substitutes and wastage. " Levine is characterized by a fetishistic nature while utilitarian art objects, the game between original and originality, the nature and value of the item only and exceptional in the series. Another unique artist, known within the movement 'Op art', as Bridget Riley who states that "images of the past treated as historical documents or proof of concept is outdated and a mistake: they are specific solutions artistic problems of the moment and that's what that makes them interesting even today. "
Both Rothenberg, Martin, Levine and Riley are artists with a line of its own investigation, they have concerns and his art lies in that, to discover and work on their own introspection as artists .
Castellón what?
we here in the likes of Mar Arza, who in his last exhibition with the gallery Cànem - 'Enciclosofía' - yearned to awaken in us a cultural background and emotional numbness. It also proclaimed the need to feel the rhythm of the emotions and pleasures of being human. Ultimately, the experience acquired over time and the accumulation of feelings and experiences that records being. Rossana
Zaera in November also surprised us with his presentation "Resilience / memory boxes', which calls for a work that invites the viewer to introspection, reflection, to realize the life cycle. Being is moving or is nothing, has great capacity to move, adapt and overcome any adversity and learn through experience over the course of life. Zaera we talked about the power of living beings to overcome any contratiempo.Tampoco be forgotten-Marja Maya Jankovic wondered in the past Nit de l'Art de Castelló with the inauguration of the project '4 + 1 ' , an interactive multimedia work in which I participate as many visitors who did not hesitate to venture, totally receptive to new ways of artistic communication. Your project itself is an attempt to relate and penetrate the interpersonal communication and understanding of civilization. Come together, thus, the biological and cultural flows, as inseparable phenomena that are formed by basic human conjunction.
exposure could be noted also that this January we had the opportunity to visit the City Centre Castelló culture. 'Confluence', in Altea Grau, revolved around the confluence. In other words, ideas, circumstances, purposes, memories, and desires that searches over time coincide same purpose as a place where the roads converge, rivers and other waterways that flow into the sea.
Other artists who are emerging art scene in Valencia and have close relationships with Castellón are the sisters of Art at Quadrat - Monica King George Jordan - whose work is based on the things around them: family , memory, problems in the city, people, countries in which they lived ... His art is a reflection of the everyday, the small and invisible, that is, managed to rescue from oblivion and evidence that at first sight that goes unnoticed to our sentidos.Todas them are women who create art. A clear example that our artists are making its own territory in the modern world in which art should be seen as the affirmation of a single individual - regardless of gender is -.
