Argentine artist Gerónimo Araquistain premiered his first solo exhibition at the Centro Cultural San Martín, a public space of great institutional importance in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
When it is of quality, the impact of POP art on the viewer is compelling. It is an artistic movement true to its time, an attribute that not many movements can boast, which reviews and exposes its truths with clear and direct language.
The exhibition “The Era of the plush” by Gerónimo Araquistain confirms this premise with great force by imbuing everyday elements with new conceptual meanings.

Resumen:
…Entre las obras que se inaugurarán este mes se encuentra La era del peluche, de Gerónimo Damián Araquistain, que en el espacio del hall del centro cultural ofrecerá un análisis acerca de la significación de la baraja española en nuestra sociedad, porque para el creador los naipes no son un juego, sino “el motivo de una relación entre nuestro cotidiano”.

In the vast world of art, creativity knows no bounds, and some artists have found inspiration in a seemingly simple object but full of symbolism: playing cards.
I have managed to find four notable artists ⚡ who have taken the depiction of playing cards to new heights, each with their unique style and distinctive approach.

Resumen:
El típico ancho de espada de la baraja de cartas españolas aparece bajo la óptica de Gerónimo Araquistain: en colores flúor que contrastan con su fondo rallado en negro, violeta y verde. Todo en peluche. “Es la Argentinidad Mutación 1. Me cansé un poco del ready made, ahora ya no hago las cartas como las conocemos sino que las presento desde otro ángulo” nos contó el artista.
