Descripción

CARMEN CALVO (Valencia, 1950). "Muros", julio, 1991. Técnica mixta (óleo, terracota y lienzo) sobre madera. Firmado, fechado y titulado al dorso. Presenta rotura en la madera de la parte trasera que no afecta al lienzo. Medidas: 150 x 190 cm. El carácter transgresor y a la vez cargado de poesía de Carmen Calvo se aprecia plenamente en "Muros", obra que enlaza con la imagen del orden de acumulación asociado a la artista. En ella, pequeñas piezas de terracota se superponen al lienzo y nos introducen en un ritmo de secuencias que recuerdan a la vitrina de un coleccionista, influencia derivada del descubrimiento por parte de Calvo de las colecciones de arte egipcio y mesopotámico del Museo del Louvre de París. En cuanto al uso del barro, cabe mencionar que el artista se sirvió de este material en numerosas ocasiones, aunque no como elemento ornamental (en su forma cerámica, esmaltada o policromada), sino como fragmento mundano, despojándolo de elementos superfluos, es decir, ennobleciéndolo. Carmen Calvo estudió en las Escuelas de Artes y Oficios y Bellas Artes de Valencia, y se licenció en Publicidad en 1970. Más tarde ampliaría su formación gracias a las becas del Ministerio de Cultura (1980), la Casa de Velázquez de Madrid (1983-85) y el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, para su residencia en París (1985-92). Por esta época Calvo comienza a ser reconocida, recibiendo distinciones como el I Premio de Pintura LaSalle Seiko de Barcelona (1985), el Premio Alfons Roig de la Diputación Valenciana (1989), una beca en la I Bienal Martínez Guerricabeitia de la Universidad de Valencia (1989), y la selección para la 47 Bienal de Venecia (1997). La artista había iniciado su actividad expositiva en 1969, participando en una colectiva celebrada en el Círculo Universitario de Valencia. Debutó en solitario en 1976 en la galería Temps de su ciudad natal, y desde entonces ha expuesto individualmente en diversas ciudades de España y Estados Unidos, así como en otros países de Europa, América y África. Actualmente, obras de Carmen Calvo pueden verse en instituciones de arte, museos y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, como el Museo Guggenheim de Nueva York, el Reina Sofía de Madrid, el Marugame Hirai de Kobe, el MACBA de Barcelona, el Fonds National d'Art Contemporain de París, el IVAM de Valencia, la colección del Chase Manhattan Bank de Nueva York, etc.

CARMEN CALVO (Valencia, 1950). Objects Series. Mixed media on book by María Santoja, on board and methacrylate box. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 22 x 47 x 18 cm (urn). Around 1996, Carmen Calvo recovered many of the objects from a tailor's shop located in the Plaza de la Reina in Valencia. The store belonged to Rafael Molina and his wife María Santonja, whose name can be read on this piece. The artist recovered numerous papers, magazines, patterns, fashion illustrations, correspondence, notes, invoices, in short, everything that had been discarded or forgotten. In this particular case Carmen Calvo presents a draft book of ornaments in which a series of crystals as "fossilized brushstrokes", as the author herself has called her technique. The work links with the image of the order of accumulation associated with the artist. In it, small pieces introduce us to a rhythm of sequences reminiscent of a collector's display case, an influence derived from Calvo's discovery of the Egyptian and Mesopotamian art collections at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The influences, recognized by Calvo, come from the work of Kurt Schwitters or Joseph Cornell, in which the objectual, the accumulation and the rhythmic repetition come together to create a work that is very much archaeological in its creation. Carmen Calvo studied at the Schools of Arts and Crafts and Fine Arts in Valencia, and graduated in advertising in 1970. She would later broaden her training thanks to scholarships from the Ministry of Culture (1980), the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid (1983-85) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for her residence in Paris (1985-92). During these years Calvo began to be recognized, receiving distinctions such as the I LaSalle Seiko Painting Prize of Barcelona (1985), the Alfons Roig of the Diputación Valenciana (1989), a scholarship in the I Biennial Martínez Guerricabeitia of the University of Valencia (1989), and the selection for the XLVII Biennial of Venice (1997). The artist had begun her exhibition activity in 1969, taking part in a group show held at the Círculo Universitario de Valencia. She made her individual debut in 1976 at the Temps gallery in her hometown, and since then she has shown her work individually in various cities in Spain and the United States, as well as in other countries in Europe, America and Africa. Works by Carmen Calvo can currently be seen in art institutions, museums and private collections all over the world, including the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Marugame Hirai in Kobe, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Fonds National d'Art Contemporain in Paris, the IVAM in Valencia, the Chase Manhattan Bank collection in New York, etc.

CARMEN CALVO (Valencia, 1950). "I'm sad but not with an end", 2007. Intervened photography on paper. Signed and dated by hand. Measurements: 54 x 38 cm; 70 x 54 x 6 cm (frame). One of the passions of the artist Carmen Calvo is to stroll through flea markets and leaf through old albums in search of old photographs to intervene, thus offering a renewed vision of the ancient anonymous snapshots taken in the past. Unknown characters in black and white, often in group photographs, transform their identity through the inclusion of masks and other surreal elements.

CARMEN CALVO (Valencia, 1950). "Zurbarán", 1989. Mixed media, rope and canvas on board. Presents stamp on the back of the Nave 10 Gallery (Valencia). Signed, dated and titled on the back. Measurements: 110 x 60 cm; 120 x 67,5 cm (frame). The title of this work gives us a key that allows us as viewers to understand the artist's aesthetic influences and their resignification in a contemporary language and context. Carmen Calvo has made numerous works inspired by the Spanish painting of the Golden Age: Sánchez Cotán, Zurbarán and later Goya's Black Paintings". This concept is expressed directly by Calvo, who stated in Makma magazine (July 4, 2022): "What I do is to manipulate objects by incorporating them into another context and another way of seeing. Mannequins, for example, have been treated since the Renaissance, and then Picasso or Breton have also worked on them by manipulating them. Everything has been invented here. I also refer to Zurbarán, to the old still lifes, and that's it, because I come from a classical education". Starting with the name of the painter Zurbarán (1633-1635), we can observe a great influence of the mastery of white that made Zurbarán famous, visible in works such as "Homage to Saint Hugo in the refectory of the Carthusians, 1630-1635 (Museum of Fine Arts of Seville) or Saint Serapius (Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford). In addition, the rope that crosses Carmen Calvo's piece may remind us of the belt of the "St. Francis standing contemplating a skull" (Museo del Prado), where three knots represent the three vows of the order.
