Undoubtedly, Luis Felipe Noé is one of the great painters who gave our country. At 85 years "Yuyo" continues to paint and constant work that will lead to inaugurate the exhibition "For now" to begin Saturday 3 of November, at the International Gallery Rubbers.

The sample, which can be seen for free, will begin at 11 and will remain open until 15 December in the enclosure located on Avenida Alvear 1640.

In an exclusive interview with The sidewalk, the famous painter said that for him this exhibition means “I am working with many projects, so also some sense of the title of the show "and adds: "I think I was working with a lot of freedom, quite naturally without posing of rupture. I think being young is something you learn when you're old ".

On the other hand, and for the first time, the artist will exhibit a stained glass window, between about 15 works that can be seen in the gallery. "That's also the time of the beginning, so that you can see better with sunlight ", points.

What things inspire you when creating?

The word inspiration is not the one I use. I think it's a matter of working. It's like thinking, where one leads to the other and thus form a string. This is the same, a job leads to another and one is walking and deducing things.

Does it hurt when someone takes one of his works?

Nobody asks for money and takes a picture just like that. The issue is more complex. Factor in the sales do not mess, they get other people. I do works, and from creation to evolution ... sometimes it really hurts to part with some, but it is expected when one creates.

Luis Felipe Noé is a man who always knew art suckle, even in other countries, such as France and Spain, where he lived. It is also recognized by the fact that installed the "New Figuration", with painters Ernesto Deira, Rómulo Maccio and Jorge de la Vega in the early '60s, generating one of the most significant chapters in the national art.

“I think we are living a very special moment, where most people call "contemporary art". That seems pretty silly because how are you going to call when no longer contemporary?”

Is there any artist who surprised today?

I think we are living a very special moment, where most people call "contemporary art". That seems pretty silly because how are you going to call when no longer contemporary? Instead, when there were the great periods of art, there was awareness that something that was his name ... Renaissance, baroque, Mannerism, romance or after the forefront Impressionism, etc. Now there is an awareness of art.

Where that consciousness is lost?

After what happened to the forefront, who has completed more or less around the '60s, It was an embarrassment and then has begun an awareness of freedom, but not everyone knows his way in freedom. Freedom is fantastic, but sometimes disconcerts.

I think at this time, freedom there is the possibility of mixing experience the history of art. Of all the vanguards, but also in the history of the whole painting, since ever, and not only that, but experiences with other arts, even combined.

How would you call everything that came after?

When I speak of contemporary art I speak of "art cocktail", where everyone does their own cocktail of experience and I think that is the hallmark.

Is there a consequence to call every contemporary?

Spend the contemporary word does not serve, and no art movements now, so there are individual experiences. Why everyone does their experience, his field. Some advance talented and others with MACANEO. And with regard to review youth ... I prefer not to because old when speaking of young people are always wrong, they are based on previous assumptions that are being developed now. Anyway, I try to renew myself by my own experience contemporaneously.
