Dear Readers:
On Tuesday October 19 was inaugurated with great success of public assistance, in the main hall of the Provincial Cultural Centre "The Classroom "(located at number 1 in the square of the same name) exposure entitled "Icons" (although the title does not appear reflected in the catalog) by artist Rachel A. Lara (Murcia 1975). 
Discuss the work of Rachel A. Lara I find it relatively easy, as is someone with whom I have a very close professional relationship and is an artist I respect and admire for a long time, not only by the unquestionable quality of its buildings but by the rigor and seriousness always prints in the processes of creation and seek new proposals. It gives me a pleasure to comment on this exhibition entitled "Icons" and that the author gives us after nearly two years of research and hard work. 
current work of Rachel A. Lara, serves a delicious harmonic result of the relationship between aspects of form and content, which makes no doubt, in a unique and very interesting proposal plastic. The disparate influences seen in its original figuration, such as Cubist distortion, expressed a sense of visual polyangular and perspectives of the object, represented with a photo-realistic naturalism next treatment, which point and cause a singular expression that the Authority issued elegant and very consistent with his proposal speech, he invites us to reflect on those things or people we think we know, but in reality only know appearances. 
From the conceptual point of view, the work of Rachel A. Lara, we proposed to recognize in each of his paintings, characters are a reference pattern or icon of any kind, and more or less influence on us, we link or always refer to their actions, status, or activity covered by the media relevant to making or has made in the social, political, cultural or any other, hence we can "discover" in his works, known singers, actors, politicians, popular television, universal icons of painting or others that are a benchmark in of his inner circle (but no less important) that represents the friends, all of whom expressed by the artist, from the absolute distance and probity in value judgments, it is not part of their interest, or target his speech, taking sides with any of them, but describe it as the author sees it in its formal aspects most significant, regardless of the current role that they hold or have held, as referents of moral, artistic, social and political rights of our reality. Hence we can say that far from being this simple, traditional displays of portraits of "famous" Icons have served as motivation Lara, do not constitute a landmark in praise of virtue, beauty or model (as has traditionally been treated in this genre picture) recreated but a selection of people and personalities, who have a greater or lesser extent a substantial significance for we established the same way, a certain link, affinity or empathy, whatever their virtues, turning them into reality as we know, or think we know. 
is significant and astonishing in this work, as the intentional distortion in the drawing of the portraits, we do not prevent the easy identification of the character, image started to "reconstruct" from our minds, to be finally sorted and restored in our mind, all thanks to the use of the quality of memory or memory, which in turn tells us and shows, the careless attention we pay to detail, thanks to the general perception we have to observe things and people, and causes as a rule, hold trials, analysis and evaluations very superficial and sometimes unfair or inaccurate both phenomena, things and people around us. 
With a polished technical treatment, both the drawing and color, the work of Lara, is undoubtedly one invites us to reflect on our relations with the environment and people, because it is the same view, to observe. Only those who can drink the essence and the truly momentous events, things and people, not take into account the wrapping of their appearances, and so analyzes, evaluates and gives its opinion weighted truly revealing important. 
The exhibition "Icons", is one of those samples where the good work, and the best thinking of speech come together in a fascinating series of tables, where the plastic result invites us to discover a new way of thinking not only the portrait as a genre, but also portrayed as a reason for inspiration. The symbol, with great strength and interest to support the concept, but never to replace the object, the work provides a unique harmony of large scope in contemplation and delight in its intention of discourse, it is certainly something very unusual in the plastic today, precisely the reason being that, to make it a revelation to our eyes. I am convinced that this exhibition will be such to remember for a long period of time, not only for its technical quality, but also and primarily for the originality of your proposal. 
Raquel A. Lara with this exhibition, has placed a strip of very high quality and proposed in the plastic stage of our city, and I hope that this will now serve as a stimulus to us all, that after this magnificent exhibition, also come from other artists, who worried about the same goals of quality, help to raise the technical level and creativity of our city, thus both art and ourselves, we will be the sole and maximum benefit from it. to the next installment.
