The Italian Cultural Institute in Mexico City hosts an original exhibition consisting of a series of drawings and paintings by Gerardo Suz\u00e1n, inspired by the Divine Comedy and the three canticles Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. In the first section, \u201cTres Tiempos (Three Times)\u2019\u2019, organized by the Fundaci\u00f3n Lodie por el Arte y la Cultura, in collaboration with the studio Suz\u00e1n, presents in black and white the process that led to the creation of the works, from conceptualisation to documentary research, up to the preparatory drawings and sketches. Thus, the audience can get to know the creative itinerary that led to the final result, entering into the \u201cartist\u2019s workshop\u201d, exploring its sources and inspiring motifs.<\/p>\n
The second section presents the real works, inspired by the readings of the cantos of Dante\u2019s Comedy, representing \u2013 graphically and with great creative freedom \u2013 the circles of Hell, the circles of Purgatory, and the spheres of Heaven. The third section offers a path towards poetry starting from the artwork. The author, Gerardo Suz\u00e1n, is a Mexican illustrator and painter. He trained at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Pl\u00e1sticas at UNAM, he studied engraving and design at the \u201cCenter of the Engraving\u201d with Gigi Pedroli, and at Giuliana Consilvio\u2019s art laboratory in Milan. He illustrated over 200 books and curated the Cat\u00e1logo de Ilustradores de Publicaciones Infantiles y Juveniles [Catalogue of illustrators of children\u2019s literature].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Italian Cultural Institute in Mexico City hosts an original exhibition consisting of a series of drawings and paintings by Gerardo Suz\u00e1n, inspired by the Divine Comedy and the three canticles Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso.
