SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Feb. 3 (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Cabildo de Tenerife, through the Autonomous Organization of Museums and Centers (OAMC), inaugurates the temporary exhibition ‘Skin of the island’, at the Museum of Nature and Archeology (MUNA), which can be visited from this Friday until on April 3.
The exhibition is a pictorial sample of the artist Facundo Fierro in which he scrutinizes the island’s natural landscape in each work.
The Councilor for Museums, Concepción Rivero, highlights “the strength of ‘Piel de la isla’, which presents the indissoluble relationship of the archipelago with its volcanic origin and Canarian idiosyncrasy”, for which it invites the whole of society to be a part of the culture and enjoy this exhibition, free of charge.
In addition, he adds that “it is a walk through the orography of the islands, through its ravines and slopes, its beaches and most characteristic landscapes”.
The project presented by the artist, after more than a decade without exhibiting in Tenerife, gives the opportunity to contemplate at the MUNA the recent work of Fierro, who has developed more than half of his life in Europe but without losing his close bond with the landscape of the islands.
Endorsed by his intense activity as a painter, engraver and sculptor, with an extensive projection in architecture, landscaping and urban planning, Fierro presents in ‘Piel de la isla’ those inseparable links between the insular volcanic origin, its resilient biota and the particular island idiosyncrasy.
Fierro defines this exhibition as “a way of understanding the landscape, in which it is integrated to identify its components and values, making an artistic interpretation that it offers to those who decide to visit the exhibition at MUNA.”
In his works, the mark that man has left on the natural environment can also be seen, generating a new form of communication and dialogue with the viewer who enjoys plastic art and the stroke of brushes on a canvas.
The exhibition can be visited at the MUNA from Monday to Saturday, from 09:00 to 19:00, or Sundays and holidays from 10:00 to 17:00.
