Artist Ana Crespo pays tribute to Lorca at Casa Árabe in Cordoba

July 18, 2022
in Culture & Art, Leisure

 

Until 7 October, Casa Árabe’s exhibition hall in Cordoba (c/ Samuel de los Santos Gener, 9) is presenting the exhibition A Scale of Light for Federico, in which the artist Ana Crespo pays tribute to the Granada-born writer Federico García Lorca. The diplomatic cultural centre will be closed for the entire month of August.

 

The idea came about after a conversation held almost ten years ago with Luce López-Baralt, professor and Distinguished Professor (Professor Insignis) of Spanish and Comparative Literature at the University of Puerto Rico. Following that conversation, Ana Crespo imagined large-format sculptures and installations and filled a notebook with sketches which, over the years, grew with larger projects on the theme. This project materialised definitively during her confinement, with a clear and loving purpose, almost a travel map.

 

Ana Crespo’s work brings us closer to the figure of one of the greatest Spanish poets in history. Her verses, writes the artist, “like the great traditions, have that quality of being an echo and of making us feel the earth with the eyes of the lucid heart. They are words and rhythms that awaken the life of the heart, with a knowledge that penetrates through the senses, in the manner of some mystical traditions, as in Sufism, the pre-Islamic and Islamic tradition of light and colour; a memory that the work of Federico García Lorca overflows in abundance”.
