Espais Volart, Barcelona
All exhibitions are an act of dialogue between the artwork, the viewer and the artist. The aim of Dialogues to (Dis)Cover the Work of Lita Cabellut is to establish a four-way dialogue between the works, viewers, the artist and people from the field of culture, enabling us to explore the aesthetic universe and content of her pieces. Dialogues to discover and explore a work and its meanings.
The style and the content of the work of Lita Cabellut provides depth for reflection and self-questioning on themes such as time, what it is to be human, power and fragility; blind mirrors that have ceased to reflect our image. Works in which the human face is the central focus for the tension between the fleetingness of life and the determination to live and be in the world. Each of the dialogues is an invitation to viewers to see themselves in the artist's work.
The Power Continues within Us
The human condition, as artistic material, characterises the output of Cabellut; it is the driving power of her art. The only background, landscape or scene upon which her work is centred is ambition, weakness, fear and hope; human nature as seen in a blind mirror.
