South Light

THE municipal Art Centre, La Fuente de Mojacar, has now inaugurated an exhibition of painting and sculpture under the name South Light Luz del Sur.

The exhibition includes more than 40 paintings and about a dozen sculptures belonging to the students of the Clemente Gerez painting school and the sculptor, Juan Alonso.

Feliz Clemente Gerez is a well­known painter in Almeria, with international projection and has exhibited all over the world. Despite having numerous awards and being claimed in many parts of the world, he does not leave the Mediterranean: neither Mojacar nor his native Garrucha, except on essential days for his exhibitions.

Luz del Sur will remain open to the public at the La Fuente Municipal Art Centre until June 30. Admission is free and you can visit from Tuesday to Sunday from 11.00am until 2.00pm.
