On Friday, day 6 of nociembre, opens in the sample Byzantine Wall Painting of artist Paco Pomet Granada.
Over 23 large canvases, Pomet us into his personal world where alternating humor, drama, wit or irony, where reality and fiction coexist, alternate and face.
In general, "says Paco Pomet-try to talk to the perplexity of being alive, of continuous pleasure and unease that produces live in a world that has infinite ways and at the same time, has none.
Anything can fit in a box with almost all matters interest me.
Pomet formation, after studying Fine Arts in Granada, is complemented by his visits to the United Kingdom and New York, where he assimilated the traditions provocative contemporary art.
The critic Fernando Castro Flórez describes it: This painter, in a sense close to other artists such as Santiago Ydáñez, some boxes Curro González, disturbing atmospheres or Neo Rauch, the proposals generated in other languages, or Paul McCarthy of the Chapman brothers, is in every sense, a contemporary, someone who tries to account for what amazes him, of daily events filtered by a style that is something grotesque.
Its easy to call attention to the serious issues that affect humanity appears naturally combined with hilarious characters and situations that have nothing to do with the context.
Pomet - says Castro Flórez - not to wear, as they say, the heart in a fist, to the contrary, their works generate a playful almost dream-like drift, we must keep an open mind to everything, be able to establish a permanent free association.
PACO Pomet.
