Manuel Vilariño: “Seda de caballo”

Seda de caballo (Horse Silk), the most comprehensive exhibition on Manuel Vilariño’s work to date, was inaugurated on Thursday September 12 in Tabacalera’s Art Promotion space. Photographer and poet, 2007 Photography National Award, he is one of the most remarkable artists of our time.

 

Seda de caballo includes one hundred pictures taken by Vilariño, some of which show his famous polyptych works and two installations. The artist proposes a visit to his imaginary that takes viewers from his particular perspective of animals, to landscapes, still life, visions related to the dimension of melancholy and the somber presence of death.

 

A retrospective of a great master of still life, curated by Fernando Castro Florez, which shows the most outstanding elements of his aesthetics and allows us to review the fertile career of this creator, with such crucial aspects as the poetic background and the search for a contemplative attitude.

 

The display will be open through November 24 at Tabacalera. Art Promotion space.
