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.
