"Vari Carames: A Retrospective Exhibition "
2001-02-02 until 2001-04-15
Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea
Santiago, , ES Spain

CGAC presents a show devoted to the work of the photographer Vari Caramés (Ferrol, Corunna, 1953), within the framework of its exhibition programming that grants photography, as a discipline, an increasingly decisive position, in keeping with the current artistic scene, both on a national and an international scale.

In this retrospective exhibition, the most complete of those held to date, we have assembled a selection of over a hundred photographs that review his entire artistic trajectory. To enter the CGAC exhibition halls is to be plunged into a world of black and white images – some of which are well-known, while others are on display for the first time – splashed by the colour of his most recent works.

Vari Caramés transforms his personal way of looking into a magical suggestive universe. In his poetical snapshots, which in a simple and tender fashion surround their beholders with an air of complicity, the ordinary acquires new nuances and time remains in suspension.
