In the Gallery of Arts and Sciences

Frenchmen show
their "Living History"

Primitive forms of art in strong lines is what is seen at the exposition of Ideorealism paintings and drawings of Yannig Guillevic and Yvonnig Jacquier, called "Living History", since this passed Thursday in the Gallery of Arts and Sciences at the University of Sonora.

The correct dimension of strokes, in quick lines - some of intense color - give an idea of the mental preparation of the painters in making a canvas with a great pictorial cleanness. Brought to Hermosillo by the French Alliance, the paintings go back to times where the elementary was the essential thing in art. Some characteristics of western culture and plain graphics are mixed in a modern conceptual framework yet they show something of the primitive in the painting. Yannig Guillevic commented that in these images is seen how the theory of true art never precedes the practice, and that each image denotes a principle of the Ideorealism movement.

"Ideorealism wants to put in triptych, liberty, referring to the real and the material, united in the center of the thematic to have power in history", he added. He indicated that this movement is fed by the wealth of the figurative, of the teaching of the ancestors, and at the same time is enriched by the material, such that it is enriched by many things that can be artistic movements and creative acts.

The Frenchmen told that his technique was an accident of the shop that arose in a winter where all the liquids froze until forming a very strong extract made of a product of nutmeg that is utilize by engravers. Their works are neither drawings nor paintings. Rather they are a mixture of both. Yannig Guillevic said that the wisdom of the people of Hermosillo is very vast due the fact that all the people ask many questions and are interested in the unknown. "Here the people are very curious. We did not know why this city had been chosen to do the exposition, and later we realized that the anxiety of knowing is immense", said the French artist.

The exhibition "Living History" contains 60 works and will be open to the public from November 23rd to December 8th, where Ideorealism is "a Dream that finishes well...".
