Ricardo Villoria
20 July 2020 – 20 October 2020
Ricardo Villoria is an Asturian artist born in Villoria, Pola de Laviana, in 1986.
After standing out in the artistic field, he studies Advertising Graphics in Oviedo, where he will begin to develop his professional career oriented to graphic design. After spending time in London and Madrid, she expanded her artistic range to other disciplines such as painting, photography, video or fashion.
This multiplication of languages has also allowed her to expand the scope of her recent works, from her first collection “genderless” under the Petra Von Kant brand to the projection of him as artistic director within the national alternative music scene.
Project in residence
RCMTA (Reinterpretación contemporánea de la música tradicional asturiana)
The RCMTA project (Contemporary Reinterpretation of Traditional Asturian Music) seeks the study, documentation and reinterpretation of the forms of expression and communication of traditional Asturian music, giving it a novel vision through the image and form of representation.
The project is divided into two parts:
– First part (video): The first part will consist of the voice and image recording of different Asturian tune performers. An image will be recorded in very close-up format, to highlight the vocal strength and communicate through these frames the power and purity of this art.
– Second part (photography): The second part of the project consists of working on the aesthetics and form of representation (costume, makeup…) of the traditional bagpipe and drum couples, tambourine players and traditional dance couples. This will help the growth of our folklore thanks to the opening of new communication channels for the network that comprises it.
