César Martínez - Painting Exhibition

Cesar Martinez, a prominent national artist, presents a compelling solo exhibition of paintings in the Enlace Gallery of Contemporary Art, the opening will be held on Thursday December 10th. His painting is abstract as it responds to a domestic musical architecture, made of variations and free structures, which have a remarkable precedence from drawing, that permanent record that knows how to use mercy as a means with which to interpret and summon immediate reality.

When: Mondays through Saturdays 11:00am - 8:00pm
Where: Enlace Contemporary Art Gallery Av. Pardo y Aliaga 676 San Isidro Lima 27

"Horizons With no Memories" by the Plastic Artist Rember Yahuarcani

Rember Yahuarcani, a young artist from the Huitoto culture in the Amazon, has become well known not only in our country but also abroad. He did not take any sort of art lessons; he taught himself and his work has evolved with time. This exhibition submerges us into a magical world where we will learn what the feminine presence means in his culture. Women give life but also maintain it and guarantee its continuity. To the artist, this showing is not about myths, history and traditions but about characters under a different light: his own, with movements and shapes from the Amazon that do not necessarily have a historic base in the Huitoto culture. For more information call the Oficina de Imagen Institucional: 619-7000, extension 5207.

When: November 5th - January 9th 10:00am - 1:00pm and 2:00pm - 5:00pm
