Between the serenity and silence of the Montserrat mountain, painter Carme Llop surprises, through her long brushstroke, with all the immensity that nature transmits to human beings. A great work of sensitivity and active listening towards the most distant and at the same time closest landscapes of the Catalan territory. A play of lights and forms that rise on the horizon, in the Montgrí massif of Empordà, the Ebro delta, Lake Banyoles, the Pont del Petroli in Badalona or the Torre Balldovina in Santa Coloma.
This is the new exhibition at the Can Sisteré Contemporary Art Centre, in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, which opened on May 7 with the name Recreating the landscape, saving its memory. The painter's exhibition invites visitors to reconnect with the natural environment through an artistic gaze and collective memory.
An exhibition that mixes painting and literature
The exhibition, installed in Room 1 of the center and open until July 19, presents more than thirty large-format oil paintings inspired by landscapes and natural spaces. The project also features the collaboration of philologist Isabel Graña, with whom the artist establishes a dialogue between literature and painting. This synergy translates into a selection of texts that accompanies the works and serves as a starting point to delve deeper into the relationship between the written word and the visual representation of the landscape.
