Pablo Márquez,, who with Baja (2011) gives us a breathtaking glimpse of his Mexico. The pristine blue of the sea that makes even the sky turn pale counteracts the dryness of the soil or better, our gaze is so satisfied by the marine spectacle that the poverty of the soil completely goes into the background. Likewise Kerry, Irelande (2014)
The idea of this exhibition was born several years ago for an exhibition space in Tivoli, in the province of Rome, but as sometimes logistical problems happen, they have slowed down the organization and when the opportunity arose to exhibit in Sweden, the previously shelved theme immediately seemed perfectly in line with what Northern Europe represents in the collective imagination, that is, large uncontaminated spaces that, knowingly or not, cannot fail to create the right "void" necessary to look inside and discover the infinite lands of our deepest self, whose admiration and respect for the external landscape is only a first, obligatory step. Starting from the outside, therefore, to arrive at the interior.
As always in my modus operandi the initial input is given a title, but the true wealth is the way each artist interprets it and, in this case, what prevailed at the idea of the landscape: now Nature, now the city, now that little-known and all too little-beaten world that lives within us.
The following words are for those who will take themselves by the hand and accompany them through a critical reading (also this "limited" personal one, mine) that is able, on the one hand, to help understand the work, but on the other hand to arouse doubts and ask / ask questions.
