Hernández/Castejón: Painted poetry

From 11^th February until 31^st March, an interesting exhibition will be hosted by CIRN Foundation, at 18 Alicante Avenue, in Jávea.

We highly recommend this showcase of paintings by Joan Castejón, an expressive artist that turns sensations into visual shapes.

This exhibition is called “Hernández/Castejón: La poesía dibujada” —Painted poetry.

Castejón finds inspiration in the verses of the Valencian poet and goes beyond a mere representation of scenes: he defines in painting the poet sensitivity of Hernández like juxtaposed images with dashes of surrealism, mainly in grayscale.

Joan Castejón is an integral artist born in Elche. Part of his history tells tales of repression by the Franco regime, adventuring into theatre, lots of travelling and the earning of a name in the international art scene in the 80′s

The showcase is open to the public Monday through Saturday, from 18:00 h to 21:00 h. Admission is free.

There are two additional exhibitions open in Jávea right now: those of Ximo Zaragoza and Palmira Rius.
