TORNER DE SEMIR AT "CAL XULLAT"
November 2008

teresarius: promotors d'art has the pleasure of presenting the artwork of this great artist of the Catalan painting in the popular shop delicatessen "Cal Xullat" of Torrelles de Foix. The rural villages, those that feel placed near a river and that a bridge gives access, they are usual in the painting of Torner de Semir. They all are shown with living and luminous colors, even though a yellow moon hanged in a corner of the sky suggests night environments. The painter marks the silhouettes of the main elements of each composition with strong and precise lines and uses the flat and pure colors to express the feelings. It has an own style that he founds in the simplicity of the realization in a very well structured composition. Also we highlight his famous feminine figures, known as Menines.

Dates: of the 8th November of 2008 until the 3rd January of 2009

GUIDED TOURS
January 2008

The garden of our cultural space, a privileged corner in the middle of the city, has been source of inspiration of this new project which we want to present you. Placed between Gracia and Sant Gervasi, the neighborhood has been portrayed in unforgettable ways in many of the novels of one of our more universal writers: Mercè Rodoreda. 2008 is commemorated the centenary of the birth of the author, and this has seemed a good pretext to us to turn on a new initiative in the Espai Cultural Francolí, the guided itineraries. We are talking about a series of several walks all over Barcelona, related with different areas of the culture, and that they intend to make yourselves discover the surroundings in a pleasant and different way.
The first itinerary which we would like to propose you introduces into the streets of these neighborhoods that the writer from Barcelona knew so well and that we can rediscover through her personal view.

Laura Gazeau at La Coqueria
29 August - 15 October 2007




With her paintings this artist manages to transmit sensations and emotions in which every spectator is let lose during some minutes in a different way. The landscapes that to some transmit peace and calmness, perhaps melancholy inspires to others. They make us meditate on ourselves, on the pass of the time. They highlight so much the strange and disturbing obtained depth as 'one natural good taste' in the composition and the combination of the colours.

Josep Guixà : Magic and doors
10th to 24th of July 2007

teresarius: promotors d'art in collaboration with the curator Marcenia Baqués they organize in the Espai Cultural Francolí of Barcelona an exhibition of the one recognized Catalan artist Josep Guixà.

In few years several individual exhibitions of the Catalan artist Josep Guixà have been presented, teacher of teachers as for structures and materials is related. Not in vain all his experience in the professional field of the construction has alternated a plasticity and originality exceptional with a ferrous discipline in the research and creation of textures, consistencies, strokes, colors, spaces and supports, that they have brought, to his artistic creation. His dense and long trajectory in this wonderful spiritual profession has cost him recognition of critics and public.

About his "constructions", as Arnau Puig pointed out about the series dedicated to Gaudí, Guixà returns us the magnificent work of the architect through some complex materics skillfully constructed, with strong texture and brightness, which do not attempt to copy to Gaudí but to make it for us feel in other dimensions. "With Gaudí, he surprised us with details of the Pedrera and of the Park Güell, of the Holy Family and of the Batlló House. Details that thanks to his magician palette has been able to entertain as research and homage, without intending to appropriate a total reality that goes beyond it. From here his particularity.

Being with this line of the detail, Guixà presents us on this occasion a subject that he has been using for a while: a luck of façades, doors, balconies, windows, some framed, in his own rural landscapes, the fundamental characteristics of which they are this materic voluptuousness and consistent of what we spoke formerly. Intense reality, sometimes discolored and demolished almost mysterious and lugubrious in other, where the step of the time can be touched with the breath and the look. Then the reality evokes ours old constructions, those of formerly, those of the village, those of the old house or street, even the ones of the soul... Those that are perpetuated as witness dumb persons of the transformations of our existence. Entries or exits (as they see themselves), that sit-ins always hide "events" intimate, particular, personal, holy. Each one of these impossible "openings", contains the magic of the unknown. Guixà achieves it. We invite you to "snooping" among his dense cracks.

Maria Huerga
29th of June to 29th of August 2007

The artwork of this artist of Manacor is based on a series of dreams and utopian architectural projects as well as also the most metaphysical part of the own existence.

In this exhibition of works in small format we find intimist abstractions where it is frequent to find traces of the nature. What Maria wants to show is a metaphysical reality, oneiric, full of impossible characters, of another world.

Maria Huerga investigates with the colors. Working with the primary ones and with these she obtains all the other ones. The way to order them it is important, the purpose is to produce the mental vibration of the color, through the disposition of a neuter color with a primary, one secondary with a pure color. The saturation is also mystical, it is the exoticism of the color.

Ramon Vila-Rovira, Materia Viva

26th to 30th June 2007

Presentation of the art book and Inauguration of the art show “Ramon Vila-Rovira, Matèria Viva” at the Hartmann Gallery of Barcelona.

Dr. Vila-Rovira has become an important figure, known and well-loved for his personal charisma and acknowledged at a national and international level for his achievements in the field of plastic surgery. However, artistic creation, his other passion, may be unknown to many people. Among his creations the drawings and oil paintings of his first stage, such as collages, abstract works and more recent sculptures stand out from the rest. With the presentation of his book and the exhibition we want to penetrate into the world of Vila-Rovira; a fascinating, touching, thoughtful, critic and sincere world. After abandoning figurative art, Ramon takes a step further to bravely evolve to form and matter topics, once again a reflection of his great personality. Vila-Rovira goes into a world of found and recycled objects and plays with a contrast of textures, forms and colours that seem to take in the passage of time, his interests and experiences.

Those who deeply involved themselves into this project wish that the presentation of his new book Ramon Vila-Rovira, Matèria Viva will mark a new start in his artistic career and will enable him to put his work and mind in order to initiate a new style; so the world will be able to admire a unique man who not only uses a scalpel with sensibility and talent but any artistic instrument to unveil the great artist inside.

Opening hours: Tuesdays to Fridays from 10am to 2pm and from 5pm to 8pm; Saturdays from 11am to 2.30pm

Rocío Anhert ’s oil paintings
16th to 29th June 2007

Rocío Anhert’s paintings are “open” artworks of art which take the audience to a world of sensations. Each of her paintings, far from being a mere imitation of nature, is in fact an interpretation of nature itself.
In her paintings, an instant of light or a chromatic corner turn into an orgy of light and colour, where each stroke is a sign of exquisite sensibility. When one stands in front of Anhert’s work, with its wise stream of light and colour and its Mediterranean sensuality, one realizes the great and exigent painter that lies behind each painting.

Opening night: Saturday, 16th June 2007
Dates: 16th to 29th June 2007
Opening hours: Mondays to Fridays from 11.30am to 2pm and from 6pm to 9pm

Berenice’s fairies and dancers
21st May to 20th June 2007

Berenice is the pseudonym that artist María La Placa uses for her decorative line. She diversifies her work by creating unique decorative objects and paintings.

Her work is all hand made and her creations embellish any room, and yet adapting to the environment still bring a magic energetic sensation that other industrially produced objects obviously can’t. In this exhibition you will discover a fantastic world full of dancers, fairies and jokesters; the ideal decoration for a child’s room or the perfect present for a First-Communion celebration.

Sandra Turnbull
10th April to 21st May 2007
teresarius: promotors d'art organizes two watercolour exhibitions of the English artist in the cafeteria/delicatessen La Coqueria and the art gallery/erotic shop Desig.

Turnbull’s fascination lies in human figures, in a constant search for new ways to present nudity. Turnbull observes sexuality from a feminine point of view and questions beauty and the distortion made of it so as to get a reaction from the audience. To the artist, creation is an uncontrollable desire to express explosive emotions. The painter uses vibrant colours, well-balanced environments and humour talent to awake our emotions.

Opening hours
La Coqueria: Mondays to Saturdays from 9am to 12pm and from 6pm to midnight.

Desig: Mondays to Saturdays from 11am to 2pm and from 5pm to 9pm.

Patricia Sicardi
From 5th October to 6th November 2006


Exhibition of Argentinean artist
Patricia Sicardi’s oil paintings.

Her paintings are endowed with power and mystery and evoke lively colourful places of the towns of Barcelona and Cadaqués. Sicardi takes chances on colour and opens up to new spaces as they are coming. She gets her inspiration from the countless magic spots around Barcelona, so full of life, like the Plaça Reial. Cadaqués, the fishing town in the Mediterranean where she resides at the moment, bestowed the beauty of the sea in her hands and inspired her to capture the narrow streets – the arcades, the balconies and the windows – that tell her about inner worlds

Ángel Uranga
From 22nd of June to 8th July 2006

The expressionist work of this prolific artist is well-known and extremely admired across the country, and more and more, abroad.
Simplicity of composition, confident strokes, accuracy of the idea, lively colours, harmonic movement and transparency of light; these are the elements revealed from his work. All this, along with a strong but affable personality in constant evolution and full of surprises, makes
Ángel Uranga a great artist and proves once again his great creative capacity.

We also organized a lottery with one of the Basque artist’s paper paintings as a closing event for the exhibition. The lucky winner was Rosa Asensio.

Her work, “Far from being a mere imitation of nature, is in fact an inspired imitation of nature itself”, as this artist from Castilla-Leon describes it. Her paintings are open art works  that possess a wise trickle of light and colour and a great Mediterranean sensuality.

Rocío Ahnert is a bachelor in Fine Arts by the Facultat Sant Jordi in Barcelona where she has been living since 1974 and works as a teacher of painting and drawing at the moment.  Her work has been displayed not only in several cultural scenes around the country but also in Germany, America and Holland.

Russian Colours
From 27th April to 9th May 2006

The Ekaterinburg Modern Art Gallery together with TMK – Metallurgical Enterprises – the Sinara Foundation and Art-transe.com present this exhibition of Russian artists organized by teresarius: promotors d'art at the Art Gallery ESART in Barcelona.

“Russian Colours” is just a small part of the great art collection belonging to the Ekaterinburg Modern Art Gallery whose main objective is to give the world a better understanding of the modern Art in the Urals region of Russia. The exhibition has an international look, thanks to the congregation of different artistic trends and pictorial techniques. Nevertheless, the essence of the exhibition remains Russian and therefore distinct from the global artistic market. The exhibition displays the work of different artists in order to give the public a greater perspective on the art happening in the Urals at the moment.

Russian art is quickly paving its way into our country; several exhibitions are taking place in Spain at the moment: MALÈVITX’s exceptional retrospective at the Fundació Caixa de Catalunya, displayed at La Pedrera in Barcelona; “¡Rusia!”, the first and greatest exhibition of Russian Federation master pieces dated from the XIV century to nowadays; several exhibitions at the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao; and the exhibition “Vanguardias Rusas”, a tour to Avant-garde Art in Russia in the first third of the XX century organized by the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Fundación Caja Madrid.

Each artist uses a unique range of colours that reveals hidden emotions and lingers on the thin line between reality and fiction, and often explores the dark side of it. The painters make use of various techniques: from pastel and tempera to acrylic on paper and oil on canvas. By approaching the work of these artist one can realize of the modern perspective in its creative research; the creative process lies in the relationship between nature, artist and society.

The paintings are powerful; from this exhibition we will understand that Russian art is like vodka: strong, pleasant and penetrating, that first catches your eye to then hit your stomach with a warm and lasting sensation.
