3 x Asia. Marta Cárdenas, Judas Arrieta and José Llanos.

“3 x Asia” is the title of this publication coinciding with the exhibition project carried out in Casa Asia with three Basque artists. Marta Cárdenas, Judas Arrieta and José Llanos, the authors of the respective works gathered in this exhibition, had a common source of inspiration: Asia. Through their own experiences, travels and interaction with Eastern culture, each of them channeled their way of perceiving and integrating this influence. Judas Arrieta uses the “manga art” style and culture otaku through the art of telling stories such as “Paquete postal” or “Momotaro”, included in this volume along with his work carried out in various media, from mural painting to video format. On the other hand, the work of Marta Cárdenas, “My old friendship with Asia”, shows the impact on her work of the fusion of Chinese calligraphy, the Nō theater and remote landscapes that led her to the particular abstraction of she. Finally, José Llanos, in “Stories of Geishas and Samurais Victims of Fashions” combined from a critical point of view humor and modernity that always tends to contrast with the world of tradition through six fictitious portraits, distorting the real meaning. and figurative symbols and signs of the present and the past.
