According to the CEO, "this is an impressive exhibition, suggestive and nuanced", whose paintings "is a colorful celebration, while an eerie refutation of the idea of ​​progress", in which "the concept of 'woman' thins, colored and futurizes demonstrating, however, that after centuries of social progress, only its conventions have changed. "
'Glamourama' presents the vision that the artist and feminine color applied to the world of art, fashion and pop iconography.
Speaking at Casanova's work is related to the concept of 'femininity' contemporary, taking current and classic references in which femininity is used and glamor as a weapon of seduction.
The concept of creating a character called 'FE-MENINA', a hybrid between the modern woman and Las Meninas by Velázquez views from the ironic perspective, through which it becomes a critique of consumer society and the lifestyle and contemporary aesthetics.
The exhibition consists of 65 pieces of different formats and techniques, showing the woman 'cover' turned into a symbol full of content, where femininity takes shape and structure, reflecting the conception of the body in advertising as appearance and idealizing the values ​​of beauty and perfection.
Thus, the exhibition focuses on the reinvention of the body as a form of consumption and desire as trigger image representing women as consumers and as an object of consumption.
