Exhibition in memory of Bartomeu Forteza

Tuesday to suterday 10-14h and 17- 21h.

Capturar la espiral de una ola cuando esta rompe en la fijeza del cuadro es una ciencia reservada a los asertos del color. Línea, perspectiva y motivo enmudecen por un instante, en el que Hervás Amezcua recupera para nosotros la fiesta del color, el rojizo de Tramuntana, el bronce verde sublevado contra su azul original, la resaca dorada que vuelve a cargarse sobre el Mediterráneo.
Las combinaciones cromáticas de Hervás convierten los colores en actos de luz. También el oro de Mallorca, la luz de sus famosos centros de energía, está muy presente en la paleta del pintor de Gavà.

Significado especial de esta exposición en Palma supone la estrecha amistad que Antonio Hervás fraguó con Bartomeu Forteza, a cuya memoria ha querido dedicar esta muestra. Mi padre escribió en otro lugar que las obras de Antonio sustituyen "grandeza por intensidad", y que esa era la respuesta del artista al creciente mecanicismo del hombre moderno.

Ahora, coincidiendo con los días de mi boda en Mallorca, la obra ha desembarcado en la isla de su amigo Bartomeu, acaso para recordarnos que toda energía aguarda a ser encendida por nuestra mirada.

"...Antonio spoke from his tiny flat on the seafront at Gavà. Ostensibly Mediterranean, the classic Mediterranean qualities are not much in evidence in the Baix Llobregat region where the River Llobregat flows sluggishly to
the sea carrying unchecked quantities of industrial waste.

“I have settled on this, and I don’t expect to ever do anything else”, Hervás says, said and will ever say. “I always knew that I would be a painter. Even as a kid, I drew women, with very slim figures using a stub of pencil. I used any old piece of paper, the margins of my text books, anything. In the end I took up painting.
What is painting? It is revealing the unreal present in life, the impalpable, that, nevertheless, is still there. I don’t see painting in terms of being modern or avant-garde, all I see is good or bad painting. What I paint, what I do, I do because I want to do it. No pictorial language forces the decision on me. I do it because I must. What I want to do is struggle and paint. I will always paint,
no matter what happens”.
Chapter "1976-77. The way we were" (fragment).

Tendreses

El cel verd entre els núvols obscurs,
l'aire és pàl·lid
i el ponent va cremant
els instants en què el dia s'allunya.

Estàs sol
i aquesta hora cansada
va escrivint al mirall
els teus ulls avesats al desig i al silenci,
a la pell sense alè de la mort.

Has après a trobar-t'hi.

Vas ordint-hi tendreses.

The collaboration with poet Felipe Sérvulo comes out in the poem "Gineceo". The engraving of the same name is its base.

GINECEO

Despierta entre el vaho
y en tus ojos,
mechas de oro viejo
y espigas,
en la solitaria cartografía
de la materia.

Caminas al infinito
río de los sueños,
donde brota el aguamiel
para los labios.

Donde se impone la cordura
de astuto navegante,
que, en ausencia de azules,
busca la verdad
de antiguas travesías.

The poet Felipe Sérvulo, born in Jaén (Spain) in 1947, is the writer of the next books:

Antonio Hervás won the prize Antoni Serra of the visual arts
This distinction is under the Prizes of Cultural Gratitude from Baix Llobregat (Barcelona) and is given every year by the Centre d'Estudis Comarcals. It has 12 categories (theatre, nature conservation, comunication, scenic arts, local initiative, literature, music, heritage protection, civic gratitude, pedagogy, investigation and popular culture).
Hervás Amezcua' work moves between oils and bronze sculptures although he improves too the engraving and mural painting. He has exhibited his work in prestigious places in Spain anyway in other countries (Germany, Brasil, United States, Finland, Iceland, Israel and Luxembourg).
The prize Antoni Serra is in gratitude for his prolific profesional career.
