The “Chaos Theory” at the Caja Rural de Córdoba Foundation
The multidisciplinary creator from
Córdoba Arroyo Ceballos presents this “premonitory” series supported by a large
audience and several surprises
Yesterday,
a large audience met at the José Luis García Palacios Cultural Center in the
capital of Córdoba, including political representatives and people from culture
in general.
The event
was presented by María Luisa García-Palacios (Head of Cultural Management of
the Foundation), Blanca Torrent (Lieutenant Mayor), and the author himself.
It is the
first time that Arroyo fully exhibits his “Chaos Theory” composed of a dozen
paintings, six sculptures, a sample of his unique “Esféricas” and an artistic
installation, all in his usual mixed technique on ocumen or wood, in symbolic
abstract style with predominance or taste for the use of recycled elements.
It should be noted
that the casually “premonitory” nature of this series, widely mentioned in the
media in several countries, comes from the great similarity of some of the
works made in 2018 with the structure of the coronavirus, which would disrupt
our lives two years later. daily hitting the entire world.
The exhibition also
has a photographic installation titled “El Caos y Yo” in which well-known
photographers from Córdoba (Toni Blanco, Pepe González Arenas, Oscar
Barrionuevo, Rafael Patiño, Juan Gaitán, José Carlos Cabello, Jerónimo Tinoco
and José Manuel Rosario) interpret the author-chaos concept.
The large audience
was able to attend two flash mobs starring the Córdoba group “Neon SunFlower”
and the dance group “Merak”.
Pepe González Arenas
has been the author of the advertising poster images and the plastic artist
Curro Sujar has been the author of the poster design.
Arroyo Ceballos has a
great international career marked by more than one hundred and fifty exhibitions,
work in museums and institutions in a dozen countries and more than thirty art
and literature books as author or co-author. Named in the country in 2015 as a
member of the International Association of Art Critics AICA and in 2022
President of the Andalusian Association for the Promotion of Culture cREA. He
currently also directs the Espacio Cultura magazine.
