After five years without stepping foot in the halls of the capital, the artist and creator from Huelva Juan Carlos Castro Crespo delight again Huelva with his conceptual brushstroke for celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the Grand Theater. ‘Prelude for a theater’ is the title of the exhibition that has been inaugurated this Thursday in the Ibero-American Hall of the Casa Colón and that is part of the activities that kick off the celebration of the Centennial of the Huelva culture temple.
During the inauguration, the mayor of Huelva, Gabriel Cruz, praised the figure of the artist, assuring that “Juan Carlos is a creator who breathes Huelva in each of his brushstrokes and as a city we feel incredibly proud to be able to say that we have his person as part of our artistic and human heritage. A committed, constant man who has dedicated his life to Huelva’s art and culture and who has become a very important figure in the plastic arts in Huelva”.
In addition, in relation to the activities arranged by the council for the start of the Centenary, Cruz assured that “from the City Council we have done everything on our part to turn this anniversary into a true celebration of art and culture in Huelva, Huelva and for Huelva. And what better than to do it from a multidisciplinary approach in which the different branches of art are intertwined, serving each other as vehicles for the mutual knowledge of our culture”.
In the exhibition, Crespo’s look at the world of the stage and theater is portrayed, which was born in large part, as the artist himself explained, “from the moment of introspection and personal recollection of confinement.” Among the paintings, almost all of them unpublished and created for the occasion, you can find theater scenes from different disciplines, portraits of actors, musicians or sopranos. All this with the personal style of non-realistic figuration based on the analysis of the form and the concept that characterizes Crespo’s painting.
The Ibero-American Hall of Casa Colón will host this exhibition until April 25 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. In addition, it will also have a face-to-face detail in the same Great theaterto summon those who pass by there during those days to visit it.
