The exhibition The Other Pencil was the one that reopened the new stage of the Rómulo Gallegos Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (Celarg).
The exhibition belongs to the poet Leonardo Gustavo Ruiz, honored at the current World Poetry Festival.
It consists of 18 paintings, in which there are more than one hundred drawings made by Ruiz for almost 30 years. “I scratch, stain and keep drawings from a very young age. I have done things in large formats. At the Museum of the Llanos, of which I was director, he appeared for the first time during the pandemic.”
Although he does not plan to stop writing, Ruiz said that he also has large-format paintings, but he has not shown those. “I want my work to spread around the towns, but I have dedicated myself more to writing, but I have always felt that art is an endearing art for me,” she said.
In this sense, he expressed that this Wednesday, within the framework of the Festival, he will baptize a poetic anthology, titled That mountain overturned in the night, which includes texts created since 1997 and other members of his new book of the same name, which he will also announce at the event. literary.
For his part, Pedro Calzadilla, president of Celarg, said that this exhibition is “reopening our doors following a period in which we have recovered the space and are rescheduling. We will announce programming soon.”
