Guillermo Muñoz Vera: expone su serie de pinturas "La Luz de la Alhambra"

Forum Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 AM to 5:30 PM and closed Sundays, Mondays and holidays.

New York, NY - Forum Gallery presents its third exhibition of paintings by Spanish artist Guillermo Muñoz Vera, opening.

In The Light of the Alhambra, Munoz Vera demonstrates the relationships between past and present, new world and old world and art and life that reveal the mystery and beauty of The Alhambra, which has survived conquests, diverse rulers and cycles of abandonment since the 9th century.

For Muñoz Vera, The Alhambra itself and the surrounding Andalusian region of southern Spain represent the inherent 

science, technology and art long sought by enlightened Europe.

Through the views of temples, gardens, oceans and deserts in this exhibition, the Artist points us to the rich history each subject represents. Muñoz Vera believes that the Islamic architecture

of the Alhambra, completed towards the end of Muslim rule in 14th-century Spain, and its preservation throughout centuries serves to inspire the creation of all forms of beauty in

contemporary life. His painterly observations unite the patina of age with the atmosphere of today, bringing a fresh perspective to every work.

The crystalline still lifes are rich and highly focused portrayals of tradition. They show the materials and tools that have been used through centuries of Andalusian life to make the objects

that denote Granada. The contemporary life of Granada, part of Spain since Columbus’ time, is the subject of Muñoz Vera’s figurative works in this exhibition. From the perspective of history, the Artist shows us the life of today as it goes on against the background of the cultural past.

The 15 paintings in The Light of the Alhambra will remain on view until June 27, 2014.
