New Painting Exhibition in Mazarrón from 4 July

A typical and anarchic painter. So some critics define French painter David Oppenheim.
The artist who now resides in our town has accumulated extensive experience based on his travel experience. Oppenheim has been seeking inspiration from different corners of the world.
A decade after starting his career the artist began to travel and gain experience. Mexico, Germany and France were among the most influential in his career stops. It is in Aix La Chapelle where he met a wealthy industrialist with a passion for painting, and took a sumptuous studio in her factory. From there, exhibitions multiplied.  In the 70´s, he was exhibiting in the galleries Siebel y Glaüb
Another important point in his career was in the house of Franco Bettazzi  in Florence, for whom he worked for nine months. In 1974 Bob Dylan asked him to illustrate the cover of his album "Blood on the Tracks".
In the 80s, Oppenheim worked on gigantic walls, painting on the facade of the Teatro Toursky of Marseille. Precisely in this City in the French Riviera , Oppenheim manages to devote his time to other exhibitions in the early 90s.
Oppenheim's work brings to Puerto de Mazarrón as the artist says  "a reflection of what I feel when I left home, moving to the Municipality." Based on our Coast, the French artist has found his ideal corner to unleash his expression.

Furthermore, Cartagenero artist, Javier Lorente, displays his art for an extra week in the Town Hall of Mazarrón, until July 12. The exhibition “Tierra surcada, mar revivido”  consists of twenty paintings, including the painting “Paisajes de Mazarrón”, which gave him 1st place at the National Competition.
