With No una imatge justa, sinó justament una imatge (This is not a just image, this is just an image) – a title that alludes to Jean-Luc Godard’s precious formula –, the Centre Cultural-Llibreria Blanquerna in Madrid and Fundació Vila Casas aim to promote the artwork by Isidre Manils (Mollet, Barcelona, 1948) by dedicating an exhibition to the artist that encompasses various aspects of his career and intertwines meeting points between the different artistic disciplines in his painting.
His approach focuses on the world of cinema – something he had access to as a child given that his family owned the Ateneo cinema, which was next to their house – and his artwork oscillates between concealment and (dis)concealment, between the absence of a presence and ‘assemblings’ of apparently unconnected images from which he extracts a great sensuality.
This exhibition constitutes part of a collaboration agreement between the two institutions aimed at promoting greater recognition in Madrid of the artists featured in Fundació Vila Casas’ art collection.
Exhibition curated by Natàlia Chocarro.
