\"1\"<\/a>Friday, 13th<\/sup> of January 2017. Very cold weather! At the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery we are holding the first inauguration of this year: \u201cV\u00edctor Pedra, a song to life\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The artist is absent today because of weather. Nevertheless, his \u201cSong to life\u201d brings us his presence!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a>This is the second time that V\u00edctor Pedra<\/strong> is exhibiting at the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery. Many years have passed since that first time (2004). But the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery has recuperated that typical environment almost-magical, dreamlike, fanciful of this painter and sculptor.<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/a>After the initial greetings of Ignasi Cabanas, Mr. Josep M. Cadena<\/strong> \u2014the art-critic\u2014 does his best in spite of having lost his voice due to the extreme cold weather. Without de presence of the artist and in spite of his sore throat, Mr. Cadena\u2019s comments have been short but precise. He had the \u00abdesire to speak about V\u00edctor Pedra\u00bb. He describes him as \u00aba singular author. He by himself organizes the \u201cmusic\u201d around the works\u00bb.<\/p>\n

In fact, some elements and stories \u2014like fishes and other fantastic animals; fruits like apples, lemons, etc.\u2014 surround the female figure represented with a \u201cPicassian style\u201d. All things come together towards compositions that can exist only in the imagination and dreams. Truly, the atmosphere transmitted by these works is a \u201csong to life\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"5\"<\/a>The enthusiasm of Mr. Cadena regarding Pedra\u2019s work is evident: \u00abThe pictorial universe of V\u00edctor Pedra is dreamlike and deeply symbolic. The artist joins this other world \u2014which we cannot renounce\u2014 to Nature. The sun provides the greatest warmth that exists after the human caress, the palm trees give us their shadow\u2026 At the same time, rivers and seas invite us to the journey. But, if we are able to use our imagination, we will not need to move and a paper ship will be sufficient in order to go wherever we want\u00bb (from the writings of Josep M. Cadena<\/strong>).<\/p>\n
