The University of Murcia (UMU) opens this Wednesday, October 9 at 8:00 p.m., in the Cloister of La Merced the pictorial exhibition 'The voice to you due', by the Murcian artist Carmen Cantabella.
In total, it is about twenty works in acrylic and digital printing on canvas, in which all are unique works made by this multidisciplinary artist during this year 2019.
Born in Murcia in 1977, her work is part of the Collection of Contemporary Art of Madrid, of the Bancaja Foundation, of the Cristóbal Gabarrón Foundation of Valladolid, of the Governments of Cantabria and Murcia, of the municipalities of Murcia, Granada, Ciudad Real , Alicante and Jaén, among others.
He has received more than 20 awards in Spain, most notably Bancaja 2006 and Pancho Cossío 2007. His work practices distortion trying to ironically show the social and political realities of our time.
Cantabella documents and reveals the shortcomings of our time.
It is common that in his works the conflict between the private and the public is present, using the nude, history, childhood or violence as arguments for reflection.
This exhibition is part of the ODSessions project of the UMU, dedicated every month to disseminate and organize activities about each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda.
Thus, this exhibition is framed within the framework of 'SDG 5: Gender Equality', held during the month of October.
Precisely, Cantabella was awarded last October 2 as 'Relevant Woman' in the event 'EnlazadODS'.
