Published by the Ayuntamiento de Cartagena, this catalogue accompanied Paco Pomet’s solo exhibition held at La Muralla Bizantina, the municipal hall adjacent to the Roman Theatre of Cartagena, in 2009.

Organised in collaboration with My Name’s Lolita Art Gallery, the exhibition presented 23 paintings, all reproduced within the pages of this 74-page publication.

The catalogue includes an essay by critic Fernando Castro Flórez, who writes:

“This painter, close in a certain sense to other creators such as Santiago Ydáñez, certain paintings by Curro González, the disturbing atmospheres of Neo Rauch or, to the proposals, generated in other languages, of Paul McCarthy or the Chapman brothers, is, in every sense, a contemporary, someone who tries to account for what amazes him, of everyday events filtered by a stylistics that has something grotesque.”

The exhibition ran from November 6, 2009 to January 10, 2010.
