As part of the creative framework of the Madrilenian district Moncloa-Aravaca, the exhibition “Los Principios del Arte” (The Origins of Art) took place in order to introduce the first steps of eight emerging local artists.
In the quest for their own plastic language experimental work was requested. Curiously, it is anecdotal the fact that in addition to the artwork that was officially presented an additional piece was requested as an attempt to foresee the next steps of the artist. After seeing it displayed at Marcos Mesa’s website the Organizing Committee requested it.
We are referring to the pictorial collage named “Ducha de latas” (Shower of Cans) which would set trends for the next seven years of the artist’s visual poetry with objects over canvas artwork. This painting became part of Marcos’ work at the University of Barcelona
To celebrate the ending of course 2008 at the University of Fine Arts in Madrid a collective art exhibition took place with recent works of students in several artistic disciplines.
Poems over canvas are pictorial pieces belonging to the genre of visual poetry and poem/objects whose forefather was Joan Brossa. Marcos Mesa experiments in depth with visual poetry through the use of tools and by adding pictorial techniques of diverse nature which are characterized by an ancient and primitive spirit.
