With this exhibition N2 Galería bet for the work of two young artists that they show in their art-work what it's named "Talismans of Memory ".
Old pictures are the reference for a more academic artist and for a stencil graffiti artist.
"Often, old photos are stored in boxes, drawers and albums containing both memory and oblivion. They are powerful talismans but also painful memory of the oversights that leave the absences of those who cherished those images. (..)
Old snapshots with its wrinkles and traces of time, they move us when recovering the faces of loved ones and worry us when they face us to the unknown people with whom we are ho-wever all connected. The strength of the family or historical legacy against the fragility of me-mory and the ability of falling into oblivion. With its birth in the XIX century, photography seemed have appropriated to the task of guarding the memory, however, painting nowadays seems to conquer the coveted role."
The work presented by the artist Eva Agasa and the graffiti artist Roc Blackblock, it is inspired by this photographic memory. Their artwork, if possible, gives a deeper meaning than the one that pictures evoke for themselves. Both of them qualify, extol and delve the vision caused.
