Colours are just a matter of light. Maybe that’s why we haven’t dealt with the darkness. Darkness is defined as the absence of light, but colours as well as pictures arise where there are light and darkness. If one disappeared, colours and images would also disappear.

Goethe said it clearly „We cannot talk about light without talking about darkness“

COLOUR-SHADOW III 2022

19 MAY – 10 JULY. PONTEVEDRA MUSEUM (E)

The commemorative exhibition “Voilà la femme” brings together a selection of works by the most important artists who have participated in its 25 editions and can be visited from 19 May to 10 July in the Castelao Building. The exhibition, which aims to make visible the artistic production made by women, invites reflection on identity and inequality through the proposals of Galician creators.

The space is mainly transformed by a mural intervention which imitates an „architectural structure“. This geometrical composition is accompanied by a series of wall objects from the Serie Pitágoras (Pythagoras Series). This objects and the mural change depending on the point of view from where they are being observed and because the natural lighting of this space. We may re-read the shapes and always find different versions.

Espacio Pitágoras. 2021

„Shadow Is the Queen of Colour“. That´s the title Derek Jarman gave to one of the chapters of his book Chroma and describes concisely the installation.

We will be able to experience some of the many facets of this harmony between light and darkness. Here, colour reveals itself as a shadow. Similarly, it is the localtion of the source of light that determines the shape of the shadow, that „dark“ area where the complementary colour to the source of light originates.
