The opening of a very special exhibition for the Marina and Tourist Port is planned for next October Marina Dénia. The exhibition, which will be exhibited both at the Toni Marí Art Gallery and on the harbor promenade, will feature works by Toni Marí, Juan García Ripollés and Luis Francisco Esplá.
«We have been working on this exhibition for some time and we are very excited to have these three prestigious artists in our house. Marina Dénia is committed to art and the support of these three figures is essential to convert our space into a gallery open to everyone, "says Gabriel Martínez, captain-director of Marina Dénia.
Exhibition Artists
Juan García Ripollés was born in Alzira in 1932. During the last five decades, his canvases and prints have been shown in the best galleries and museums in Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo and Beijing. His large-format sculptures have been installed in the parks and in the main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch and Beijing.
Toni Mari natural from Xàbia. From his first and simple figures of animals to his imposing human images, only three decades have passed, in which he has gone from being a simple worker of a disused trade, to an artist whose pieces can be found all over the world. He is a prophet in his land, but he lives and expresses himself with the humility of someone who fulfills his mission in life. Now his figures can be found in New York, in the City of Sciences in Valencia, in the Palace of the Princes of Asturias, and in exhibitions all over the world.
Luis Francisco Esplá Mateo, was born in Alicante and has a degree in Fine Arts. In addition to developing his professional career as a bullfighter, he has also been characterized by his taste for the plastic arts, especially for painting, presenting his first exhibition in 1988, at the Dragos gallery (Madrid). Likewise, his work has been part of other exhibitions in various European countries and also in America.
My apologies to the other exhibiting artists of the art of painting, because in this case I am going to refer to Mr. Esplá, whom I always admired as a bullfighter, a great fighter, an elegant athlete and a demanding artist with the harmonization of bullfighting and composition. aesthetics in the conjunction between bull and bullfighter.
When I have spoken with amateur friends, I have never pronounced on "numbers one". bullfighting is not an athletics competition. But the truth is that I still consider Mr. Esplá as exceptional. I have personally greeted him a couple of times, like thousands of fans, but in addition to appreciating his culture, he radiates education and good manners.
Yes, I would like to know the dates of the exhibition to try to visit it.
Thank you and good morning.
