Amazonía: siete visiones contemporáneas - Art Exhibition, Lima Peru
Amazonía: siete visiones contemporáneas - Art Exhibition, Lima PeruSeven Amazonian Artists present their visions of the Amazon Rainforest. It is an irony that this exhibition sponsored and hosted by Petroperu (the state owned oil corporation) , which (putting it mildly) is not a 'friend' to the Amazon rainforest.
It's history of oil pollution, and state sanctioned land-grabbing that recently culminated in major protests by indigenous people with a significant loss of life (May 2009). For further reading on this;

FROM THE PETROPERU PRESS RELEASE (English Translation incl).
En homenaje a los 27 años de la Refinería Iquitos y los 40 de la vida institucional de Petroperú, se presenta la muestra Amazonía: siete visiones contemporáneas. Esta exposición reúne la expresión pictórica de siete artistas radicados en la región Loreto.
Montada en la sala de arte de Petroperú, la exhibición nos presenta 30 pinturas trabajadas en acuarela y en óleo, cuyas temáticas reflexionan sobre la belleza amazónica, sus tradiciones y misterios, y reflejan la profunda inquietud social que se gesta en algunos espacios.
Es así cómo se exhibirán los trabajos de Francisco Grippa Jochamovich, quien –formado en California en los años setenta– regresó al país para internarse en la selva con los shipibos y los boras, es también uno de los iniciadores del boom de arte amazónico; Cliver Flores Lanza, renombrado pintor iquiteño egresado de la Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes; Sixto Saurín Púa, artista de prestigio nacional e internacional, dueño de una pictórica imponente.
Asimismo, están presentes en la muestra otros cuatro reconocidos artistas: Emilio López Rengifo, Yolanda Razzeto Ruiz; Pablo Amaringo Shuña y Juan Montes Torres.
El rugido artístico de la selva se escucha cada vez más fuerte en las galerías nacionales e internacionales. Su originalidad y la fortaleza de sus colores han creado una línea artística, que hoy por hoy está en toda efervescencia.
La exhibición se encuentra en la sala de arte Petroperú (Av. Canaval y Moreyra 150, San Isidro), el ingreso es libre, podrá visitarse hasta el 10 de octubre, de lunes a viernes de 1 a 8 p.m. y los sábados de 11 a.m. a 4 p.m.
