"As we speak, envious time escapes ..." wrote Horacio . And that fleeting sense of time, the transience of life, has inspired writers of all time. The works of Goya , De Vos, Della Bella, Piranesi, Hogarth , Stradanus , Battoni , Goya , Kubin and other artists can be seen in this exhibition bear witness it. To work as finished and perfect, one wonders if the subject is exhausted. Isabel Cuadrado ( Oviedo, 1965) addresses this issue to show the relevance of the theme and updating by an artistic and conceptual radically different.
face of the Fates weaving the destiny of men, the scenes of desolation, or the fleshless skeletons that proclaim the death, Square provides us with extraordinary cleanliness and simplicity, a naked truth. A really quiet, private anguish and fear, without threats. And it is true sober resource: the written word - she knows how to use masterfully in his dual role as graphics and vehicle of ideas - the thread, clocks, all evidence of everyday life.
The artist, therefore, wisely uses everyday to insert in it your point of view on human beings, their own perception of time and what it happens. And send the viewer a direct appeal: it's you who is directed that word out of yarn that has been Loose is for you - not the Fates - decide what to do with it. The needle going around and around on a blank area repeating the word now call to action.
Square denies inexorable. Does not grant any power to the gods or the destination but aims directly individual responsibility: every human being has the capacity to decide, is holding the reins of his life and may opt to ride on time or be overwhelmed by it. Ethical reflection as essential as today.
