Abstract

FUKELMAN, Maria Cristina. A brief study on the appropriation of canonical works in the painting of Martin La Spina in the key of allegory and symbolism. Estúdio [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.25, pp.48-55. ISSN 1647-6158.

The purpose of this article is to explore the significances in the creative process of Martin La Spina, an Argentinian artists, in the specific context of La Plata's artistic field. The artist's work consists of a series of paintings with a particular iconography that appropriates the works of artists from the European renaissance, creating new pieces that evoke a symbolic and oneiric world. La Spina's work embarks on a journey into different worlds by the means of a series of motives in its composition, the exploration of different codes, the relationship between fantasy and reality, the representation of dreams and the transmutation of nature.
