Comparing Tintoretto's Massacre of the Innocents and Jorge R. Pombo's reimagining of it in Venice

On Tuesday, September 4, 2018 at 4:30 pm at the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, the exhibition“Tintoretto - Pombo. Passion and Justice,” which will be on view from September 5, 2018 to January 15, 2019.

The exhibition will consist of a comparison between The Massacre of the Innocents, a work created by Tintoretto between 1582 and 1587, and a reinterpretation of the latter by Catalan artist Jorge R. Pombo.
For more than four months the two paintings will be exhibited together in the Sala Terrena of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco.

Jorge R.Pombo (Barcelona, 1973) often revisits original works belonging to the great artists of art history: his characteristic is to empty the figuration with actions of erasure and shading in order to recover in a plastic way the spots, the color fields. He uses special solvents poured on the canvas in a horizontal position, recalling the technique of action painting.

The exhibition Tintoretto - Pombo. Passion and Justice is part of a larger cycle of works that Jorge R. Pombo dedicates to Tintoretto.

The exhibition is curated by Sandro Orlandi Stagl and produced by ARTantide.com Gallery in collaboration with Scuola Grande di San Rocco and the Movimento Arte Etica.
