Produced between the 1940s and the present, the works in <\/span>Manifiesto verde<\/span><\/i> [<\/span>Green Manifesto<\/span><\/i>] are a celebration of art as a vital tool in revealing the vigour of the Earth, accessed by the artists through close observation of their surroundings, and pictorial and imaginary exercises. These are works in which reality and fantasy converge, exuberant visions where humans, flora, fauna, air, earth and water cohabit and participate in processes of transformation and exchange. Here, geographies become anatomies, and nature recovers the form of a great wild organism, at once dream and nightmare, devouring and embracing. The outsized proportions of the works, their undulating and intertwining forms, the vibrancy of their colours and the abundance of their compositions speak of the infinite non-hierarchical webs that make up all living things and remind us that nature is not simply an object of domination.<\/span><\/p>

Manifiesto verde <\/span><\/i>\u00a0takes its title from the 1971 statement by Nicol\u00e1s Garc\u00eda Uriburu (Argentina, 1937-2016) condemning the antagonism between civilisation and nature. This exhibition asks us to step back from the dichotomies that have distanced us from the rest of the living world. Focused on restoring his painting\u2019s fundamental role as a manifesto against the depredation and exploitation of the planet, it is a tribute not only to Uriburu\u2019s performative practice but to his pioneering activism. With this in mind, we began a conversation with Florencia B\u00f6htlingk to bring together works by artists who, for decades, have been creating images of fecundity that invite us to pay attention and recover a sense of awe for the painting and, through it, for the throbbing, feeling, living world it represents.<\/span><\/p>

These artists\u2019 works have contributed to their artistic movements highly personal languages born of our South and prompted by experiences of the Paran\u00e1 Delta, the Wetlands, the Littoral, the jungles of Misiones and the Amazon, and the landscapes of the Andes. These and other ecosystems are reincarnated and set free in these paintings, drawings, engravings and sculptures, where they find a place to breathe and to display their richness and their innermost core<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

With my art, I denounce the antagonism between Nature and Civilisation.<\/span>
<\/span>That is why I colour my body, my sex and the waters of the world.<\/span>

Today we get to know Juan Tessi (Lima, 1972), an artist who works mainly in painting, exploring the possibilities and limits of pictorial language. He has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in various countries around the world. In his paintings, Tessi weaves reflections on pressing issues (the body, identity, our connection to our environment), using pictorial tools, playing with the painting\u2019s surface, its relationship with the outside, and with different materials and mounts, which he combines with elegance and intelligence. In <\/span>Manifiesto verde <\/span><\/i>[<\/span>Green Manifesto<\/span><\/i>], the exhibition at the Moderno that celebrates art as a fundamental tool for discovering the power of the Earth and nature, Juan Tessi participates with two series of works. In one, abstractions in oil on canvas evoke natural landscapes; in the other, Tessi uses linen as a mount, on which he places figures rehearsing various body postures in response to their environment.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
