The outstanding Argentine plastic artist Luis Felipe "Yuyo" Noé presented his most recent exhibition at the Rubbers Gallery, which can be seen until next month.

"Life is an abstract word" is the name of the individual exhibition that this great artist inaugurated in the traditional Buenos Aires area of ​​Alvear Avenue and, in that context, spoke with The sidewalk about their concerns and the creative process.

"At my age - Noah will be 90 next year- I hope to make more samples”, details the artist who has exhibited his work at Rubbers for more than 20 years. "It's a way of not falling asleep, I am a bit of a son of rigor”, defines itself.

When asked about the creative process, Noé explains that absolutely "everything is a process" and that lately, “I attach great importance to drawing, to the line. When I say drawing I do not speak of the representative, but to the line, to the color and the play between the two”.

during the presentation, Yuyo expressed her admiration for the work carried out by kindergarten teachers because "instead of giving the children the representation, they make them play. The indicated verb is to raise”.

Delving into your concept, Noé maintained that he has “a friend who is an excellent teacher, but it exceeds what is the field of painting. She begins to play even with words that represent something else, like metaphors”. Due, “Teaching a child what metaphor is and thinking about metaphors is extraordinary.. That's why what they do is more than important: arouse the mechanisms of artistic education before the craft itself”.

About the latter, Yuyo details that "the job is winning, but it is the reverse of what was had until today. Before it was like saying 'I'll teach you how to paint, but an artist is born' and it's not like that, the artist is also aroused”.

Seeing his finished work for this exhibition, the query is about the possibility of getting rid of it or if it had a greater affinity to any of the works in particular. "Can be. I know that over time”, details.

“At the moment it is as if a father of twins were asked ‘which of the two do you like more’ and one does not know what to answer, the works are my children”, ends.

An artist “in fullness”

Meanwhile, Mariana Povarche – director of the Rubbers Gallery- expressed his joy and pride that it means that someone like Noé exhibits in his enclosure since 1997.

“It is an honor that such an artist trusts us as a gallery. Every year has its sample, every year he presents unpublished work for ARTEBA. Is incredible, because it seems that he can reach the ceiling as an artist, but the following year he surprises us again”, describe Povarche.

“The sample is getting better. I believe that it is in the total plenitude. He is one of the youngest artists., express directive.

“Just at times like these for the world, where man has been so struck with so much death, he is a song to life, to the pulse of life. I think it's a gift to have, no just for Rubbers, but for society, the country and the international cultural scene an artist of this quality, not only pictorial but as a human being”, satiety.

Povarche maintains that Noé is an unprecedented case in the world, since at his age “he not only paints, but write. write in the morning, he paints in these dimensions in the afternoon and one cannot believe it” and in turn adds: “Seeing it in the workshop as I have seen it, what he does requires enormous effort, it would be for any artist. Not to mention for an artist of his age, but like i said before, he is one of the youngest artists we have”.

It is worth noting that this exhibition can be enjoyed until the end of December, With free entry. On the other hand, part of Noé's work will be part of the Summer Collective.
