Art shares stories, emotions, and passion with each stroke on the canvas- and with more than thirty years of experience, 9000 works of art, and twenty-one published books – the prestigious Mexican architect, painter, artist, and sculptor, Pedro Trueba, continues to surprise the world with his Evolution in Transition.
This exhibition is a historical testimony and a suggestive, hybrid, and syncretic journey through a dialogue of harmony and customs between nations linked by history, culture, aesthetics, and art like Mexico and Spain. A vision that Trueba captures from reality with strength and transformation. A collection of impressionism to expressionism pieces. Made with the precision of an artist who also appropriates the abstract.
«Evolution in Transition» integrates more than 70 works in several techniques like acrylics, watercolors, mixed media on canvas, and glacées —prints from a digitized source using an inkjet printer—. A journey through the pictorial biography of colors and textures from the artist with more than 30 years of experience.
Pedro Trueba allows us to see in this recent exhibition his Jarocho identity. He expresses his love for his homeland, Veracruz, through pictures of the Papantla Flyers, the fishermen of the Cuenca, and the port sunsets. And he captures on the canvas icons of Spanish culture like Spanish wine and flamenco, tablao, and some of his obsessions.
Pedro Trueba has numerous awards, such as the International Art Tour at the Mad Museum in New York and Doctor Honoris Causa from the University of Xalapa.
The artist has made more than nine thousand works and published more than 21 books. Throughout his career, he has delighted audiences with exhibitions in Mexico, the USA, Spain, France, Portugal, Guatemala, Switzerland, Canada, Israel, and Jordan. Becoming the first Mexican artist to exhibit in that country and will soon travel to India to present part of his work
Trueba has also served as deputy director of Museography at the National Museum of Anthropology and coordinator of Projects at the General Directorate of Sites and Monuments of Cultural Heritage of Conaculta. Likewise, he has headed several cultural projects of national and international relevance and received many awards like the Art Tour International award at the Mad Museum in New York. In 2020 he was distinguished with the Doctorate Honoris Causa by the University of Xalapa, Veracruz, and, not long ago, got public recognition in the Chamber of Deputies.
The exhibition «Evolution in Transition» will be open to the general public until August 31, 2022, at Galería Casa EME, located at Sinaloa 217, Roma Norte, Mexico City.
