The Argentine curator
Jorge Gumier Maier talks about the artistic development of Feliciano Centurión: “Looking from every possible point of view, either formal and thematic, the foundational moment in his work is the replacement of the traditional support -fabric- for the blanket. The interaction between the stamp or the pattern of these and the images that in a very graphic mode were painted over them singularized his work. In a first phase, the alone or serious animals, domestic or strange (just like his octopus) directed to a really fantastic world, kind and heaven-like. Usually the blankets were of double size. Blankets that were reduced to smaller, more intimate sizes identify the next period. The images become more abstract and poetic. Now were flowers or stars, or flower-stars. Ñandutí carpets or macramé often replaced the paintings. In his third (and last) phase the same blankets give their place to handkerchiefs, pillows and pieces of bed sheets, on which he used to embroider phrases that were used as affirmations”.Career
