Thurs., 5-6pm ART Improvisaciones, a one man show by
Guatemalan Master artist Ramón Ávila.
The exhibit includes recent abstracts and
a selected group of highly expressionistic works, drawings, oils and mixed mediums. Ávila brings an intense drama to
his work with the use of light and shadow, form and color resulting in highly
evolved compositions. Though abstractions, some of them represent recognizable forms, such as huge sailing vessels,
the intricate pattern woven in a Guatemalan textile and complex architectural
designs. All of his work creates a powerful
impression, inspiring feelings of warmth,
awe, joy, anger and melancholy. Also in
the exhibition, a collection of figurative
works produced in the early 1960s including portraits and compositions that narrate and comment upon the social and
political atmosphere of the time in Guatemala. This series of paintings reflect
the cultural and traditional elements of
his adopted country viewed from a very
personal and humane standpoint. The
intention of showing this collection is to
consolidate the work of the master who
has contributed enormously to the history of the fine arts in Guatemala. Through

Thurs., 6:30pm (English) PLAY
Thomas Edison Visits Antigua.
Edison was a dreamer, an inventor, a man
who made things possible; some historians have claimed he invented the 20th
century. Hank Fincken portrays Thomas
Edison in this one-man play. Fincken has
performed as Johnny Appleseed, Thomas
Edison, Christopher Columbus, Henry
Ford, forty-niner J.G. Bruff, Francisco
Pizarro, prosecuting attorney Richard
Crowley and W.C. Fields in 20 U.S. states,
Spain, Italy, Portugal, the Dominican Republic, Peru and Ecuador. Each script takes
a minimum of two years to write and has
been critiqued by scholars and theater
professionals. His in-depth research as
Edison assures historical accuracy, including crafted scripts, precise language, insights into both the past and the present.
Because he incorporates the audience in
every performance, each presentation
molds itself to the unique interests of
that particular group. Humor abounds.
Each program is provocative, insightful,
relevant, enlightening and entertaining.
It’s art wearing a humanities tuxedo and
a spinning bow tie.
Contribution Q125 (includes one drink).

“Improvisaciones”
RAMÓN ÁVILA
M
aster artist Ramón Ávila is a prolific painter,
engraver, draftsman and sculptor who has maintained his momentum throughout the 52 years he
has been living in Guatemala and influencing others with his
work.
The references that analyze his legacy outline its importance. They are many, and they have been made by distinguished analysts and critics. Hence each exhibit, whether of
his recent work or a retrospective, carries the imprint that
Ávila has given to his art throughout his life. Not to mention
the inexhaustible passion that is always present. All his actions add up. His is a vital and energetic art gallery marked
by his myriad encounters.
La Antigua Galería de Arte proudly presents Improvisaciones, an exhibition of his most recent production—a sum of
different disciplines that are tied together through the permanent dialogue among them. They all guard that coherent
line that defines a good museum script. There is no piece here
that could make us doubt who the artist is or anyone who
shows stylistic weakness. It is something that goes beyond the
brushstroke and the wise application of color, or the reassured
etching of a charcoal line, or the harmonic and balanced
overlap of three-dimensional elements of his sculptures. They
all are Ramón Ávila because they flow into him.
The young artist who introduced Tachism into Guatemala
in the 1960s was gestual abstract and therefore an informalist. But the hand that produced loose and whimsical spots on
the formats had been trained academically, thus making the
artist noticeable immediately. Ávila, who was on his way to

RAMÓN ÁVILA cont.
New York, was not counting on the calling of this telluric country
and probably did not perceive at first what Guatemala would eventually contribute. Finally, he would settle in the country, subdued,
and later take his chapin residency. Ávila is certainly a Catalan
Guatemalan whose dichotomies go hand in hand with establishing
irrefutable statements—dichotomies that are nuanced in most of
his creations, except, of course, in the ones that make reference to
his homeland.
Charcoal on paper is definitely the genesis of the rest of the set.
This is where most variations can be appreciated from their intentional, loose, dissipated and innocent essence. I say “intentional”
because the infinite addition of such expressions makes him an expert with regard to space and content. Freedom from the dictates of
what is right gives him liberty in every scheme. Are they sketches?
It doesn’t matter. Each charcoal is a finished piece. The composition, the strength of the graphics, the spontaneity in the feelings
expressed and the line denote its unstoppable force as an aesthetic
message.
The collection on exhibit seems to be determined by the drawing. It is the same case of the paintings; he builds on them but they
do not entrap color. Color is applied in loose and dilute transparencies, saturated in others. If it were necessary to explain the work in
another language, it would be compared to a symphonic orchestra
ensemble. Apotheosis.
With sculpture he found another triumphant language. He
managed to get the structures from the other disciplines, drawing
and painting, to prove he is a complete artist. The complexities of
the chambers that make up these harmonious scaffoldings are exciting since they are real architectural monuments. The full understanding of light, volume and composition offers his sculptures as
many works in one, due to the vanishing points offered.
Ramón Ávila’s creative energy results in a prolific production.
There is no format that will deter him and there is no end to his artistic discourse. He always knows how to deliver a masterpiece. The
time he has been living in Guatemala defines his artistic obstinacy
and his valor as an artist. Each stage is full of contributions that are
rooted in his concerns and sensitivities regarding his emotive self.
This exhibition is a fair tribute to his professional capacity.

With photography, you zero in; you put a lot of energy into
short moments, and then you go on to the next thing.
—Robert Mapplethorpe
I began to realize that the camera sees the world
differently than the human eye and that sometimes
those differences can make a photograph more powerful
than what you actually observed. —Galen Rowell

Photography suits the temper of this age — of active
bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose
mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker
who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for
one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately.
—Edward Weston
One advantage of photography is that it’s visual and
can transcend language. —Lisa Kristine

As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure
by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the
camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until
someone sees it. Then it is theirs. —Sam Abell

While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph
can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own
