The Casa Grande del Jardín de la Música in Elda hosts from today, September 11th, the exhibition ‘La agonía y el éxtasis’, an artistic reflection on contemporary society.

The pictorial collective ELDADO inaugurated this Friday, September 11th, a new exhibition titled ‘La agonía y el éxtasis’. The proposal, which can be visited until September 27th at the Casa Grande del Jardín de la Música, invites reflection on the human condition in times of uncertainty.
Inspired by the work of Michelangelo, the exhibition uses an expressionist language to explore the current reality, marked by crises and conflicts. The collective's artists seek to transform this raw vision into a discourse that claims beauty, hope, and people's capacity for resilience.
The works are characterized by a direct and gestural plastic expression, conceived from intuition. The exhibition route proposes a transition from the harshest reality towards a more luminous perspective, celebrating faith, courage, and the preservation of our humanity.

"This exhibition demonstrates the commitment of our creators to the times they have to live in. Art has the capacity to challenge us, to make us reflect, and at the same time, to offer us hope even in the most difficult moments."

Iñaki Pérez Rico · Culture Councilor
The Councilor for Culture, Iñaki Pérez Rico, highlighted the commitment of local creators and art's role as a source of challenge and hope. He also emphasized the department's commitment to showcasing local talent and fostering encounters between contemporary creation and citizens.

"‘La agonía y el éxtasis’ is an invitation to look beyond uncertainty and discover the beauty that still exists in the human condition."

Iñaki Pérez Rico · Culture Councilor
With this proposal, ELDADO offers an experience that goes beyond the aesthetic, seeking a transformation of perspective towards the present and the role of art. The exhibition consolidates the Casa Grande del Jardín de la Música as a key venue for cultural activity in Elda.
