Prize: XLVIII Certamen Nacional de Pintura Villa de Pego. Museu d’art contemporani de Pego, Alicante, Mayo, 2024

La edición número cuarenta y ocho del Certamen nacional de Pintura Villa de Pego ha contado con una participación de trescientas ochenta y ocho obras, resultando ganadora la obra ‘G.Pz. Mk VI # cfca56. Jelly Tanks Series One’ de la que es autor Alejandro del Valle Cordero, artista nacido en Jerez y afincado en Granada, donde es profesor de la Facultad de Bellas Artes. La obra parte de un complejo proyecto donde se conjugan amplios espacios filosóficos de autores diversos y tratamientos de mineralogía, buscando símbolos que trascienden el tiempo, las barreras culturales y el propio sentido del arte. La pieza ganadora es, además un guiño a la obra de Sandro Botticelli, ‘Venus y Marte’, con ese escenario, ahora, tan trágicamente de actualidad. Una obra poderosa en fondo y forma que abre las compuertas de un arte total donde todo es susceptible de marcar nuevas rutas; rutas donde tienen cabida todas las experiencias, desde el amor hasta la muerte.

Color

This artwork is inspired in Citrine. The base color hexadecimal of this jelly is #cfca56.

Citrine

Citrine is a variety of quartz whose color ranges from pale yellow to brown due to a submicroscopic distribution of colloidal ferric hydroxide impurities.[32] Natural citrines are rare; most commercial citrines are heat-treated amethysts or smoky quartzes. However, a heat-treated amethyst will have small lines in the crystal, as opposed to a natural citrine’s cloudy or smoky appearance. It is nearly impossible to differentiate between cut citrine and yellow topaz visually, but they differ in hardness.

More about Citrine

G.Pz. Mk. VI tank

The G.Pz. Mk. VI (e) is a German tier 2 self-propelled gun.

In 1940, German forces captured several light British Mk. VI tanks. The vehicles were redesignated as Leichter Panzerkampfwagen Mk. IV 734(e) and used for training purposes by the Wehrmacht until the fall of 1942. In November, the decision was made to develop a self-propelled gun on the basis of the captured vehicles. In 1942, modifications with a 105 and 150 mm field howitzer were developed. All these SPGs were lost during the defense of France in the summer and fall of 1944.
