Dodero selected the artists for the meeting and acknowledges that he is not a specialist in the subject, but clarifies that his father, Alberto, is a collector. He adds that his first priority is to seek beauty. She says that she lived in New York for nine years and, when she returned, dazzled by the creativity of Argentine design, she began to organize fashion shows. Today, the art she exhibits has style. Beauty is not an essential quality, but the critic Arthur Danto assures -in a text where he analyzes the abuses that have been committed in its name- that “beauty is a necessary condition for the life we would like to live”.
Andrés Paredes represents the nature of his native Misiones with three pieces that compete for prominence. A white vine divides the space and, on the wall, there is a tondo, a circular work where lianas and branches intersect. A golden light mixed with green emerges from the interior, is projected and enhances the color. Adding to the unreality of the light is a gigantic polished bronze butterfly suspended in the middle of the room. “It is an artificial garden, idealized, imagined, dreamed of. I voluntarily sought the scenographic effect of a garden where time has stopped, I try to provoke a certain aesthetic emotion”, says Paredes.
Beyond the contemplation of beauty, Nahuel Vecino provides another experience. The portraits of him represent children and tell stories. The faces, with gestures of concentration or surprise, capture the attention of the viewer who enters the universe of fiction and the artist’s dreams. But the virtue of it is to create suspense. With his attractive characters arrested in an eloquent pose of the story, Neighbor awakens the desire to know the beginning and the end of the adventures.
Paola Vega is the painter of lightness. His immense abstractions of soft colors and diffuse shapes are exhibited in the largest room in the house. She there she unfolds the chain of influences that come together in her own pictorial field. Vega feeds on evocations and does not hide her references, she has come to photocopy and distribute herself, the works of the painters she admires. The first, Helen Frankenthaler, belonging to abstract expressionism. Like her, Vega takes the density out of the paint and dilutes it until it becomes liquid. Alejandra Aguado describes the process: “The vaporous images with which we identify Paola so much, where color becomes air, vibrate here like residue or memory. […] Of repertoires that she looks at, keeps and then leaves behind to throw herself into painting having penetrated her nature and returning them as pure atmosphere, pure abstraction, pure breath, pure aura…”
Also abstract, but with the firmness of the trace of the brushstroke and the vibrant colors, Ignacio Valdés gives joy to the whole group. A glamorous one and a half meter high lipstick by Daniel Basso flaunts the seduction of Pop. The imposing sculpture matches the size of the lips of Tom Wesselmann’s “Smoking Woman”, the famous Pop painting that inspired the famous language of the Rolling Stones. With the same excessive size, Basso hangs a “jewel”, two earrings from the “bijou for trucks” series. In 2018, Basso founded Mundo Dios, the residence for artists located in Mar del Plata where the winds of contemporaneity blow.
