Paintings by Miguel D'Arienzo at the "San José" Cultural Center

The exhibition opens this Saturday the 30th at 5:30 p.m. and will remain in rooms 1, 2 and 3. "Curtains. South American Anthology" is the title of the pictorial exhibition.

The “San José” Municipal Cultural Center announces the inauguration of a new exhibition: "Telones. Antología Sudamericana” by Miguel D' Arienzo. The inauguration is scheduled for this Saturday, September 30, at 5:30 p.m.

Much of D'Arienzo's pictorial work – which is curated by Silvio Oliva Drys – can be seen in Rooms 1, 2 and 3 of the space. "Since its appearance, at the beginning of the '80s, Miguel D' Arienzo's work has been expressing his confidence in painting as an expressive medium and his vocation to delve into the Argentine and American environment," explains Raúl Santana (critic of art, writer and curator).
Miguel Alfredo D'Arienzo was born in Buenos Aires in 1950. He graduated as an Architect from the University of Buenos Aires and as a National Master of Drawing at the “Manuel Belgrano” National School of Fine Arts. His painting is narrative and is committed to contemporary reality. In his work the poetic, the grotesque, and irony come together and denote the richness of our beginnings, the stylistic changes in the '60s and '70s.

In 1984 he obtained the "Francesco Romero" scholarship award awarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy and the National Fund for the Arts of the Argentine Republic.
In 1992 he began a series of exhibitions in the United Kingdom: London and Essex, interesting critics. This success allowed the art critic Lisa Palmer to include it in Christie's Latin American Art Exhibitions and Auctions in New York, where she represented it as always, her Gallery Owner Isabel Anchorena; and, lately at Art Basel in Miami, Smithsonian Museum in Washington, and Arthus Gallery in Brussels.

At the same time, in Argentina, he developed an intense activity exhibiting in private galleries, Provincial Museums sponsored by the Ministry of Culture of the Nation.

Miguel D'Arienzo was a close friend of Eduardo Bergara Leumann, founder of the Scenographic Museum “Botica del Ángel” where many works by the artist are found in the different rooms such as “The dining room of the provinces”, “The bell tower”, among others. There is a fundamental work on display called “The Pole” in a tribute to Antonio Berni.

Miguel D'Arienzo is the creator of MADA - Museum of Art in the Argentine Delta - where exhibitions of the plastic artist are held.
