| Alejandro Aróstegui ( b.1935 Nicaragua )Alejandro Aróstegui’s work is pensive and still. His landscapes (lakeshores, deserts, distant volcanoes) and cityscapes are haunting. His still lifes (simplified objects on tables) are, at the same time, disquieting and serene. Recycling the distinctive gleam of the aluminum can, Aróstegui’s paintings offer the viewer shimmering cities and rivers, solemn figures and grave forms. His best work is both compelling and distinctive. He is one of Nicaragua’s most important modern painters. PRAXISAróstegui and the writer Amaru Barahona of Costa Rica met in Europe. They were concerned about the political and social issues of their countries. When they return home they reach out to artist César Izquierdo of Guatemala. Barahona writes the manifesto. The group functions as a democracy and seeks the intersection of culture, all of the arts and teaching. Revolutionary poetry, ancient petroglyphs and the natural beauty of their countries, as well as the political and economic realities inspire it.Our exhibition includes: Leoncio Sáenz, Genaro Lugo, Leonel Vanegas, Luis Urbina, Orlando Sobalvarro, Ernesto Cardenal and Roger Perez de la Rocha.Their motto: action, dynamism and a permanent state of restlessness. |
