Spectators and collectors will be able to enjoy a pleasant aesthetic experience with emphasis on representative works of geometric abstraction, constructive art and other trends of modern art, which aims to delve into the knowledge of artists of great notoriety and universal projection , such as: Víctor Vasarely (1908-1997), the history of art considers him as the father of Op-art; Joan Miró (1893-1983), is one of the greatest representatives of Surrealism, in his works he reflects his interest in the subconscious, in the "infantile", in the culture and traditions of his native Catalonia; Alejandro Otero (1921-1990), important Venezuelan painter and sculptor, exponent of abstract and kinetic art, represented in large national and international art collections; Mateo Manaure (1926-2018), master of abstractionism, distinguished by his emblematic works in the University City of Caracas and large-scale public projects; Carlos Cruz-Diez (1923), maximum representative of the kinetic art worldwide, his research has contributed to the art a new form of knowledge about the phenomenon of color, considerably expanding his perceptive universe; Francisco Narváez (1905-1982), an important Venezuelan sculptor, is characterized by a strong ethnic component, expressed in a language of his own synthesis with Negroid and indigenous reminiscences; Rafael Bogarín (1946), a constructive artist who conscientiously manages forms and resources as part of an autonomous language; Luis Chacón (1927-2010), extraordinary master engraver who applied in his engravings the concept of unique work, as if it were paintings avoiding repetition, arrives at three-dimensionality with constructive approaches; Esteban Castillo (1941), artist who has developed in a virtuous manner an extensive constructivist work, based on color and geometry; Darío Pérez-Flores (1936), in his works creates a subtle optical vibration that attracts the viewer towards its center, stimulated by a visual and mysterious emotion; Francisco Hung (1937-2001), consecrated painter, in his works the signs and gestures constitute his plastic language, the force of color fills the void with lines; Hugo Arapé (1942), graphic artist of profuse category, has developed a work with a great poetic charge; Antonio Pérez-Melero, an artist with outstanding skills in art, uses fundamentally the interaction of color, light and form in his work; Manuel Finol (1934), a Venezuelan painter with a long career, presents works from a stage of exploration on geometric abstraction; Gabriel Marcos (1938), artist interested in the constructive plan, highlighting the value of pure colors; Rubén Vásquez (1955), an artist who has developed a brilliant career in the arts, taking on expressive abstraction as his own language; Oswaldo Vigas (1926-2014); Venezuelan artist, his work is an original synthesis between the cultural roots of the Latin American continent and the plastic currents of modernity. Jean Cocteau said: "When a work seems ahead of its time, it's just that time is behind the work." Undoubtedly, art acts as a catalyst of daydreams and utopias, at the same time it makes us problems and opens enigmas. Build the collective memory of societies and project a future of changes. This exhibition fosters a space of reunion and reflection about our times, about who we are and how artists, through their particular understanding, take the creative experience to the deepest level. Long live Venezuela, live France forever!
