About the exhibition

The exhibition Identity in Art appears to show the general public what an artistic identity is, this set of exclusive characteristics that make the artist stand out from the rest, making it unique in its performance. The trait that an artist demonstrates in his work, when it's single, creates an identity, can be compared to a signature, so we define as your artistic identity. we know, that the art (among other things) expresses the cultural identity of a people, your roots, values ​​and its history. So when the artist creates an identity, creates a story.

The exhibition brings together different forms of expression., showing both on an individual level as well as on a collective. This shows, we will have a text accompanying the work, showing a story behind each work. We believe that contemporary art, governs us with a regime of singularity, valuing what is out of the ordinary, the only, the atypical. Art is also responsible for a creative process that leads to the development of a nation and promotes the cultural growth of a people The identity of a work, can often contribute to a cultural imprint of a people.
