La Llotja de Sant Jordi: a stage of reflection
Between April and May 2025, the Sant Jordi d’Alcoi market will become a meeting point for art and culture lovers. This exhibition promises to be a window to the evolution of figurative art from the 15th century to the present day, exploring the connections between the past and the present.
A Dialogue between Generations of Artists
The exhibition highlights the influence of 19th -century Alcoyan painters, such as Placid French and Gisbert, with contemporaries such as Francesc Verdú and Sílvia. This fusion of styles not only emphasizes the richness of figurative painting, but also gives us a new look on how artists interpret the human figure and the landscape.
A diversity of styles and techniques
Figurative art is presented with a variety of styles ranging from realistic representation to more abstract interpretations. Each artist brings his own voice, exploring universal issues such as emotions and human condition.
Alcoy: an artistic creation center
The exhibition not only celebrates figuration, but also highlights the cultural legacy of Alcoy as an artistic nucleus. The city has witnessed multiple artistic currents, and this exhibition is an opportunity to recognize its contribution to art over the years.
Works that transcend the time
Among the jewelry can be contemplated anonymous paintings of the 15th and 17th centuries, as well as works by Alcoyan teachers such as Antoni Gisbert and French placid. In addition, modernity is reflected through works by contemporary artists such as Joana Francès and Antoni Miró, who bring new perspectives to tradition.
An unforgettable cultural experience
Visiting this exhibition is an invitation to immerse yourself in the history of art. Figuration, as an essential language, is revealed through the creations of teachers and new voices that continue to enrich the artistic dialogue. The exhibition promises to be a captivating route that connects past and present.
Thanks to cultural collaboration
We want to express our thanks to the Antoni Miró Chair of Contemporary Art at the University of Alicante and the City Council of Alcoy. His dedication to promoting culture through exhibition cycles is essential for the enrichment of the artistic sensitivity of the community.
